The Wanderers

Více o knize

1912: Aged thirteen and banished from the secluded farm of his childhood, Leo travels through Devon, grazing on berries and sleeping in copses. But a wanderer is never alone for long - and soon Leo is taken in by gypsies, with their waggons, horses and vivid attire. Yet he knows he cannot linger, and must forge on to Penzance... Lottie is at home. Life on her father's estate continues as usual, yet nothing is as it was. For her father is distracted by the promise of new love, and Lottie is increasingly absorbed in the natural world: the profusion of wild flowers in the meadow, the habits of predators, the mysteries of anatomy. And of course, Leo is absent. How will these two young people ever find one another again?
