Lena is the most lovable child in Fireplace Villa, with big brown eyes, milky skin and small golden freckles. Red-brown hair, elegant eyebrows on a pure face and playful lips present a charming temperament.
The once lovely little Lena has grown into a slim girl.
But in everyone's eyes, she is always treated as a child, and there are many restrictions.
One, Lena's first dance.
Lena has always been eager to socialize, and on the day when she turned fifteen, she was finally able to go out to the dance.
Wearing her favorite little daisy green gauze skirt makes her full of youthful vitality, childlike and shy like a girl.
Lena is determined to be the focus of the dance, hoping to be invited to dance by gentlemen.
The ball invited all the young people in Cray Village, Haven Port and the other side, and Lena undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.
Cool sea breeze, elegant dance, intoxicating violin music, what a beautiful and happy life.
Kenneth Holt also came to the dance. Lena's heart was pounding, hoping and fearing to be invited.
Kenneth's warm words reassured her, but she was still nervous and afraid. ...
Lena is not an innocent child in the eyes of her parents. Maybe she has developed a girl's feelings of sweetness and bitterness.
Second, Jim and Jerry took part in the war.
Britain declared war on Germany. As a part of the British Empire, ambitious and bloody young people joined the war.
Jim and Jerry, aged 2/kloc-0, both chose to fight in the war.
Lena is suffering this kind of pain. Besides worrying, she is also worried that girls can't participate in the war.
She found that the whole family was silent, and the smile on Susan's face was so far-fetched, as if it were fake.
Walter is even sadder. He is too ill to go to war.
He is afraid of pain and hates blood and violence. He admits that he is a brave ghost.
Although it is complicated, Walter thinks it is not a shameful thing.
Nan is worried about Jerry, but she is also happy to prepare for them before leaving.
The news of the war is mixed and worrying. Anne and Susan also joined the Red Cross to prepare sheets and bandages for the war and prepare for the long-term war of resistance.
Anne learned that Diana's Jack and Billy Andrews' only son would also go. And Stella's son, Priscilla's son and Phyl's two sons will go further.
The war excited young people and made them taste the pain, sacrifice and bloodshed brought by the war.
Third, the life story that was thought to be warm, beautiful and picturesque should be interesting, unforgettable and happy.
I didn't expect to get involved in the war, and neither did Anne.
People who are immersed in happiness are always caught off guard by sudden disasters.
The book expresses positive and optimistic thoughts, and people are not timid in the face of war. Although I hate it, I still have to face it. Everyone is contributing their own strength.
There has also been abnormal harmony between the two sides of Hewen Port. It is inherently at odds, and we should be informal in the face of right and wrong.
These unknown givers are as great as the heroes who charge ahead.
