Overview

The true cost of war is rarely paid during the fighting. It is paid afterward-in kitchens where silence replaces conversation, in families where power shifts without consent, and in economies where recovery is measured in numbers that cannot account for dignity or loss. The stories in this collection explore the long shadow of conflict across five interwoven dimensions: emotion, family, gender, finance, identity, and memory. They ask how people live when fear has become habit, when scarcity reshapes love, when survival alters gender roles, and when peace demands emotional labor for which no one is trained. Rather than offering resolution, these narratives attend to ambiguity. They examine how silence becomes an inheritance, how money carries moral weight, and how recovery often arrives without closure. In doing so, they challenge the assumption that post-war life is a return to normal. Instead, they suggest that normality itself must be renegotiated. After the War: What Remains is an invitation to look beyond reconstruction and reconciliation as slogans, and to consider the quieter, harder work of living afterward. It asks readers to recognize that the aftermath of war is not a temporary condition-but, for many, a permanent one.
