'And so, ' his grandfather said, continuing the story as he gently squeezed Jake's hand, 'the land retains the soul of those who have died, of the soldier and the commoner too...and so the dead grow though they are dead, and so the dead live though they are no longer alive.' The importance of the past, of memory itself, haunts the imagination and lives of the characters in these stories. They remember those they have known and lost, and whom, in strange encounters, they meet again and again.
