A chance meeting with some elderly aunts and a peculiar woman reveal to Rosalind that she is the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter and that like her great grandmother she is clairvoyant. Refusing to accept this burden, even though she has often seen ahead, she decides to become a boy, Ross. Taunted by the kids at her school she flees the classroom and her strong mother finds her a tutor. All of this is set in a small town in Ontario in 1941. The effects of war are clearly felt through the rationing of sugar and other staples and the decision of one sister to leave for the front. A beautifully told coming of age story.

Rosalind Kemp is the youngest in a family of sisters. She lives a comfortable life in a small town in Ontario. Ros is active, loving, and artistic. And, she has second sight. It is a part of her nature with which she has trouble coming to terms: sometimes it is nothing more than a pleasant parlor trick, like knowing that King Edward will abdicate; sometimes it is a curse that makes her feel freakish; and sometimes it is just plain terrifying. Ros tries everything she can to suppress the gift, and subsequently herself, but nothing works. If she is going to live her life fully, she will have to come to terms with every part of her being, just as everyone must. This brilliant novel is Julie Johnston at her very best: it is funny, frightening, and painfully insightful. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
