London in the aftermath of WW2 is a beaten down, hungry place, so it's
no wonder that Regine Milner's Sunday house parties in her Hampstead
home are so popular. Everyone comes to Reggie's on a Sunday: ballet
dancers and cabinet ministers, left-over Mosleyites alongside
flamboyant homosexuals like Freddie Buckingham. And when Freddie turns
up dead on the Heath one Sunday night there is no shortage of
suspects.
_War Damage_ is both a high-class thriller and a wonderful evocation
of Britain staggering back to its feet after the privations of the
War. And in Regine Milner it possesses a truly memorable heroine.
She's full of secrets - just what did happen in Shanghai before the
war? - and surprises - Reggie's living proof that sexual
experimentation was alive and well long before the sixties.
