DESCRIPTION:
As revealed in an introduction by the author’s granddaughter Léna Roy, the protagonist Elizabeth is close to an autobiographical portrait of L’Engle herself as a young woman—“vibrant, vulnerable, and yearning for love and all that life has to offer.” . This moving and romantic coming-of-age story was written during the 1940s
Teens may need explanations of items like dirndl skirts and telephones with no dialing mechanisms, but the basic story of first love and deception transcends the period setting. Her expert use of pauses, shifts in voices and quiet passion bring this story to life. Ages 12–up. The author's granddaughter Léna Roy supplies an introduction and an interview. All rights reserved. During a pivotal weekend, however, Liz learns that Kurt's intentions are not so honorable and she comes to appreciate Ben, who has been patiently waiting in the wings. There Liz falls for the slightly older, charming director, Kurt. . Copyright © Reed Business In
