Ruan Ashley ens transporta a la infantesa, i per mitjà dels seus records, situats a Anglaterra, a finals del segle XIX i principis del segle XX , ens va ensenyant la vida, la seva, la nostra... Un personatge molt rodó, i una narració amb unes descripcions fantàstiques dels llocs físics, dels sentiments, dels que la rodeja (alegria i dolor, present i futur), de les seves pors, . Com he gaudit! Quina esplèndida música, quina meravellosa lectura! ( ) ¡Oh, qué espléndida la música de los días de la infancia, cuando todo era inmenso, el mundo entero era un paraíso por explorar y el paso del tiempo, una sucesión infinita de descubrimientos emocionantes! Ruan Ashley rememora el tambor lejano de aquellos años previos a la Primera Guerra Mundial, cuando era una niña inteligente y soñadora que corría por los hermosos páramos junto a su querido David, lejos de la estricta mirada de su padre, pastor de la iglesia inconformista. Ahí sufre los primeros embates de la vida adulta, pero también descubre el significado de la amistad y el amor. Escrita entre las bombas que caían sobre Reino Unido durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Oh, qué espléndida música no es solo una excepcional novela de formación con unos personajes inolvidables, también es un homenaje al tiempo de la inocencia, tanto a nivel social como personal; un mundo perdido para siempre.
With more of an appeal to girls this story of a youthful rebel against the strictures of society has a wistful charm. Even at seven, Ruan, child of a Non-Conformist minister and a beautiful, gently born mother, was sharply aware of some of the contradictions in her life. A strange but imaginative childhood and the presence of David, four years her senior, forms the background for tragedy or change which alters the pattern of Ruan's life. A vaguely pre-World War I English setting. Appartiene alle Collane Editoriali
'Sometimes I think that was the happiest day of my life, those hours of heat and silence and colour, along with David high up on the moor. But then I remember that I have said that of many other days, so I cannot be sure.' A female narrator looks back on her childhood in a coming-of-age novel set before the First World War. Ruan is an intelligent and imaginative child, who gradually comes to understand the nuances of the adult world around her, as she moves from the Manse, under the strict rule of her father, a non-conformist minister, to Cobbetts, her mother's ancestral home, under the tutelage of her Uncle Alaric, and back to the guardianship of Rosie Day at Bolton House high up on the moor above the town where she was born. Her young life is shaped by a series of tragedies, but also the warmth of enduring friendships, particularly with David, her dearest friend who shares her love of the wild expanse and colors of the moor.
