      About This Book

      IN AN OLD HOUSE ON THE CAPE, ROBERT MACIVER, A HISTORIAN who long ago played rugby for Scotland, creates a list of rules by which to live out his last days. The most important rule, to "tell a story to its end," spurs the old Scot to pen a strange and gripping tale of men in the trenches of the First World War. This invented tale prompts Maclver's memories of his own role in World War II and of Vietnam, where his son, David, served; and both stories and recollections alike are lit by the vivid presence of Margaret, McIver's wife.
