Descrição
In the turmoil of 1914, as the world grappled with the onset of the Great War, a young girl named Mary Russell welcomes the chaos into her life through the pages of her new diary. At just fourteen years old, Mary is not only a keen observer of the events unfolding around her but also a passionate and intelligent individual wrestling with her own identity amid the backdrop of a world at war. Her journal becomes a sanctuary for her thoughts, aspirations, and fears, capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in history.
As Mary navigates her teenage years, she finds herself entangled in the fabric of war. Through her words, readers witness her transformation from a naive girl into a perceptive young woman deeply affected by the trials of her time. Her entries reflect not only the physical impact of the war but also the emotional and psychological toll it takes on her and those around her.
The journey is not solely about the battles fought on the front lines; it encompasses the personal struggles, hopes, and heartaches faced by Mary and her community. Her relationships with family and friends are tested, yet they also reveal the resilience of the human spirit. Mary's reflections celebrate the complexity of friendship and love amidst the impending uncertainty.
As Mary's story unfolds, the diary serves as a poignant reminder of the courage found in vulnerability and the strength in understanding one's place in a rapidly changing world. Laurie R. King presents a captivating blend of historical narrative and tender coming-of-age as seen through the eyes of a young girl living during one of humanity's darkest times.
