|summary=This is a wonderful condensed gem of a book, bursting with colourful characters from both sides of Knud Romer's Danish/German family. Extending from pre-World War II to Knud's childhood in 1960s Denmark, he shows that war doesn't end with a signed document; sometimes human hatred and national damage are more enduring than politics.

The Danish writer/actor Knud Romer has a gallery of fascinating relatives which collectively feature in ''Nothing But Fear''. This biographical novel is a collection of memories from his grandparents' era, moving forward, to that of his parents, including World War II and his own childhood in 1960s and 70s small town Denmark. The vignettes aren't in chronological order but that's because memories normally aren't. The stories are narrated almost as if they're fresh from the mind, ensuring a natural flow. The interesting thing is that no matter how fascinating his other relatives are my mind's eye always seemed to return to one: his mother, Hildegard.
