On Angel's Wings
Louisa Lilias Plunket Greene
Leído por LibriVox Volunteers
Louisa Lilias Plunket Greene was an Irish author of children's books. However, like any good book for children, this book is also for adults. Everybody knows Violet, the girl who always sits in the window and looks at any passerby, the girl who is just looking, and never playing outside. The children tell her she is a hunchback. The adults consider them cruel. This book is exactly about that conflict. How much to tell? How much to shelter a girl from a world she might never be able to join? Can Violet be happy with her lot, even in the face of trouble? This is a very touching book for those who want to learn about children, the adults who love them, and what it truly means to be different. - Summary by Stav Nisser (6 hr 30 min)

Beautiful but at the same time so sad. This sweet little girl was a real angel. The story is so touching that it made me cry several times. Highly recommended.
