A brave, curious boy and a mother whose choices shape a quiet, turbulent path toward maturity.

A storm-tossed Devon village frames the opening of this Victorian tale. A solemn, eleven-year-old boy studies hard, guided by a patient tutor, while the world outside glows with late-afternoon light and the sea’s restless energy. The room holds careful ritual and restrained emotion as the boy’s resolve to learn meets the pull of a troubled family life. As a mother prepares to leave, a fierce mix of love, fear, and defiance fills the night. Her words hint at losses and choices that test loyalty, hope, and the meaning of courage. The boy watches, sensing danger and dignity in her farewell, and the two share a bond charged with unspoken truth. The book follows their fragile dynamic and the larger questions it raises about duty, belief, and what it means to grow up.

Develops a boy’s inner life as he balances study, worry, and a longing for his mother’s return
Explores themes of faith, respectability, and the costs of adult choices
Pairs intimate family moments with a vivid, atmospheric Victorian setting
Offers a compassionate look at resilience, courage, and the pull between love and obligation

Ideal for readers drawn to character-driven stories set in a bygone era, where quiet moments reveal deep truths about family and duty.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Devon. Summer had worn the garb of winter in a freakish fit of mockery and masquerade; and even among the sheltered orchards of the deeply-embowered valley of Combmartin, many a tough and gnarled branch of many a sturdy apple-tree laden with reddening fruit, had been beaten to the ground by the fury of the blast and the sweeping gusts of rain. Only now, towards late afternoon, were the sullen skies beginning to clear. The sea still lashed the rocks with angry thuds of passion, but the strength of the wind was gradually sinking into a mere breeze, and a warm saffron light in the west showed where the sun, obscured for so many hours, was about to hide his glowing face altogether for the night, behind the black vizor of our upward-moving earth.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the adventure of a family who have taken up residence in a remote part of the country for the summer. Lionel, the eleven-year-old son, studies diligently under the supervision of a tutor, but he is clever enough to realize that some of what he is being taught is simply rote learning. Despite his intelligence and curiosity, Lionel is shy and spends most of his time alone, apart from the household staff and his tutor. When his tutor receives disappointing news and leaves abruptly, Lionel decides to seize his newfound freedom and run away for the day. His small adventure leads to chance meetings and his young, thoughtful mind wrestles with the bigger questions of life and the universe. The author of this beautifully crafted book explores the complexities of growing up, while observing the strengths and weaknesses of both parents and educators as they try to guide children and shape their development. Ultimately, this is a thought-provoking, yet entertaining read that will appeal to a wide range of audiences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
