A House in Flanders

Autor Sir Michael Jenkins
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 feb 2017
In 1951 Michael Jenkins, then 14 years old, spent the summer with 'the aunts in Flanders'. His 'aunts' were a group of elderly women whose connection to his family had never been explained but they immediately embraced him and he quickly became entwined in the lives of an extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins. The warmth of their life awakes Michael to the complicated world of relationships as he falls in love for the first time. Michael Jenkins's vivid memoir of a summer that changed his life has become a much-loved classic, with its evocative portraits of his aunts, the raw memories of two world wars that still scar the Flanders plain and Michael's unraveling of the secret at the heart of this family.

Recenzii

Artfully adds up to a portrait of a family, a time and a place... A very charming memoir.
A seminal experience of life so beautifully recorded that the book becomes a small icon to be treasured not only on the shelf of a personal library, but in the mind.
A radiant book... A whole spectrum of colours and lights, of delights and elegances, of wistfulness and love.
This golden world which seemed to have survived from another century... survive(s) in this enchanting and affectionate book.
