As the twins’ lives progress, so they learn more about their ancestors from their “Didey’s” stories, as well as from those of their grandmother, Maggie, and their mother’s brother Sandy, who reveals how Didey John lost his finger at Scapa Flow, the night the HMS Royal Oak was torpedoed by a German submarine.
