Ilustration Supposing Books A Song for Summer

Ellen never expected the Hallendorf school to be quite so unusual. Her life back in England with her suffragette mother and liberated aunts certainly couldn't be called normal, but buried deep in the beautiful Austrian countryside, Ellen discovers an eccentric world occupied by wild children and even wilder teachers, experimental dancers and a tortoise on wheels. And then there is the particularly intriguing, enigmatic, and very handsome Marek, part-time gardener and fencing teacher. Ellen is instantly attracted to the mysterious gardener, but Hitler's Reich is already threatening their peaceful world, and only when she discovers Marek's true identity and his dangerous mission does Ellen realize the depth of her feelings for him - and the danger their newfound love faces in the shadow of war.

Write-Up Containing Books A Song for Summer

I cannot be objective about this book but honestly every male lead in every romance novel can never live up to Marek, a composer slash handyman who's so good at throwing Nazis out windows that the instant one gets defenestrated everyone in a five mile radius just goes "ah, Marek must be here" . Eva gets it

Now I get to say that I was wrong about Magic Flutes, and then I was wrong about A Company of Swan. THIS BOOK is my favourite Eva Ibbotson novel so far. I really ended up loving this one, I adored the beautiful Austrian setting of this one. I really liked both of our main characters here, Ellen was as lovely as I have come to expect from an Eva Ibbotson novels. And Marek actually became my favourite male lead from any of her novels, he completely won me over.Marek is not only a gardener and

I love this book. Yes it is a little hokey, but I found it incredibly endearing. All the characters are so full of life and each so different from the other. I love the main character. I found her relentless maternal instinct to be warm and comforting. I did read this when I was about 16 so I know it doesn't hold up as well when you read it as an adult, but Ibbotson paints with her words the most charming picture with this book. I always want to crawl inside of it and live there.

A nice read. I liked it but I didn't love it.

Having now read two of Ibbotson's teen romances, I am beginning to see a trend. Both have featured angelic young women who coo over babies and frolic in meadows and have no personality whatsoever. These young women fall in love with great guys: tough, handsome, intelligent, whom they barely know. Lovely.

If you have read any of my previous reviews of books by Eva Ibbotson, you already more or less know the plot: The protagonist is a young, beautiful girl who is well-born but eschews her status as part of her love and appreciation for the little joys in life, including domesticity, nature, and rewards reaped from kindness. She is loved by all, including the surly, the old, the young, the birds and the bees. Along comes a princely type who falls for her goodness and simplicity as well as her

I'm going to have to go ahead and call this book flat out silly. I picked it up because I had read Ibbotson's A Countess Below Stairs some years ago and vaguely seem to remember having liked it. It can't have been this bad else I'd have remembered, I'm convinced.The heroine is Ellen, the domestic goddess who loves cooking and hugging babies and is beautiful beyond compare. The hero is Marek, the dashing gardener and fencing teacher who is also a member of the Resistance and a very famous
