![]() Henry's family is far from perfect, and strife arises between them rather quickly in many circumstances, especially when John Grammaticus ("Grandfather") is involved. Debates about the ethical justifiability of this war permeate the plot - the protest is the indirect cause of Henry's unpleasant encounter with Baxter. Henry himself is a rational debater, intending to reach truth rather than win an argument, but his pro-invasion stance (self-described as an "anti-Saddam" stance) is a source of harsh contention with his daughter, Daisy, who is adamantly opposed to the war. The large-scale demonstration happening on this particular Saturday is the focus of much of Henry's thoughts and dialogue. This novel takes place in February of 2003, when protests were occurring against the upcoming British invasion of Iraq.
