1990. At the age of five, Antonia Sharpe says goodbye to her Father for the first time as he goes to fight in the Gulf War with the Chosen Men of the 95th Rifles. 2009. Standing in the arrivals terminals of Heathrow Airport, she finds she doesn’t have to. The first time her Father leaves for Kuwait, Antonia is five years old. She sits on the upright piano stool, letting her tiny fingers be dwarfed by the great expanse of white keys and black sharps and flats, letting them curl and twist to make a tune as Hagman had tried to teach her on one of his many visits. The sun spills over the deep, dark polish of the wood, tumbling through the white curtains and purple flowers in a blue and white vase. From the hallway, she can hear her Mother pleading in Spanish, her voice strange and strangled, contrasted with her Father’s deep, comforting voice that she loves to listen to when it is his turn to read her a bedtime story.
