In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time."--|cPublisher's description. 520 "El relato que hace Nathaniel de su infancia y adolescencia tras la sospechosa partida de sus padres hacia Singapur está compuesto por los destellos, los restos y los recuerdos ensamblados de una época en la que, junto a su hermana, entra en contacto con un pequeño grupo de personajes de dudosa procedencia e intenciones poco claras. Quizá criminales, quizá agentes políticos, todos ellos conforman una incierta y problemática red de relaciones. El peso grave de la guerra, la omnipresencia de las ausencias familiares y su influencia sobre estas vidas subterráneas cobran aquí un efecto casi mágico que hacen que en Luz de guerra también la oscuridad brille."-- Descripción del editor. 546 In Spanish.
