4giveness

Viac o knihe

After their family splinters, Beth, twelve, and her fourteen-year-old brother, Richard, remain to care for themselves in the family's five-bedroom house--abandoned by their folks, relatives and nearby neighbours for their choice to stay in the family home. Beth must use her own moral compass to navigate her encounters with boarders, draft dodgers, communes and a growing group of suitors. Set against the backdrop of Victoria, British Columbia, in the early 60s, 4giveness is the emotional journey of a young woman's growing awareness of the world past her front step.
