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.
