«At the Firefly Gate», Linda Newbery
Твердый переплет, 160 стр., хорошее состояние (в начале есть перевод некоторых слов карандашом)
Henry misses his old home, school, and neighborhood in London and feels out of sorts in his family's new house, a cottage in a Suffolk village. Taking a liking to an elderly, dying woman who lives nearby, he becomes intrigued by her account of life in the area during World War II, when she fell in love with an RAF pilot at a nearby air station. Coincidentally, his name was Henry, too. Past and present blur as Henry has vivid dreams of himself as a wartime pilot and sees waking visions that he gradually realizes must come from another time or place. Newbery writes well, drawing readers into Henry's shifting reality slowly and letting his puzzlement work itself out. The subplot involving an inhospitable girl his parents urge him to befriend is acutely observed, incisively drawn, and sometimes painful in its realism. This contemporary British novel uses historical and magical elements sparingly, and to good effect.
