Is It Her? by Jonathan Hill and Kath Middleton

Is It Her? is a book of two stories by two authors base on one painting.  Since they are based on the same painting, they are similar in that they are based in war-time, but that's where the similarities end.

Jonathan Hill's story is tense and insular.  Set the night before he has to go to war, Cliff's relationships are not quite what they seem. 

Kath Middleton's story is of young love being destroyed by war when Frank's plane gets shot down over Germany.

Of the two, I preferred Kath's as I liked the young boy and his mother.
