AFTER THE WAR

``The Great Fire'' by Shirley Hazzard (Picador, $14): Winner of the National Book Award, Hazzard's lyrical novel of love and the aftermath of war has a timeless quality. In post-World War II Japan to record the effects of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, former soldier Aldred Leith meets teen-ager Helen Driscoll, who is caring for her dying brother. Meanwhile, Leith's friend and fellow veteran Peter Exley, an art historian by training, is in Hong Kong interrogating Japanese war criminals. Both men, their youth lost to war and now in their early 30s, face decisions about their future in an altered world.
