The House in the Ruhr, is set in the closing months of the Second World War. A soldier, marching away from the front lines, comes across an old house that was once his family's holiday home. Once beautiful and inviting, now damaged and decrepit, due to the consequences of war. This novelette explores both the physical and metaphorical concept that everything war touches, it damages or destroys.
