Review: Where Your Wings Were
Összefoglaló
In one of the many youth hostels in the lake district, sat on a small rather untidy bookshelf I found this children’s book. It’s only short containing a few gripping stories from David Almond’s book ‘Counting Stars’. I picked it up and couldn’t put it down. It was an education, the subject wasn’t always pleasant. I was quite surprised at some of the references to smoking, crime and sex. Yet these references were so subtle and the text had such a beautiful haunting way of pulling me along.
It reminded me of the difference in what I saw in my parents relationship before and after getting together with my first boyfriend. It was like a light had suddenly been turned on. I picked up on looks across the dinner table, subtle touches and actions that I’d never noticed before.
