Beschreibungen
Peggy is a fifteen-year-old rather at odds with the world around her. Her older sister berates her constantly for being messy. Her teachers reprimand her for being unladylike. Her best friend has stopped talking to her, because she was so shocked when Peggy explained the facts of life to her. And now, she's got the strangest sounds reverberating through her head. Could they really be voices from another world, as her auntie thinks? Or is there a simpler explanation at hand? A moving, fascinating and superbly written novel of family life in the 1920s.
"Jan Mark is a very good author and I will look for other books by her to read in the future"
A beautifully wrought novel about a young girl's life in 1920s England.
Jan Mark was born in Welwyn, Herts in 1943. She grew up in Ashford, Kent and attended Canterbury College of Art. She taught in a secondary school in Gravesend for six years, before becoming a full-time writer. Her book THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THERE was shortlisted for the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Whitbread Children's Award. She has won the Carnegie Medal twice, for THUNDER AND LIGHTNINGS and HANDLES.
Ever since a visit to the dentist, Peggy has been hearing the oddest voices reverberating in her head. It's not clanging water pipes, or music, or humming. In fact what it really sounds like is Morse code...Who can Peggy confide in? The only possibility is her young aunt, Stella - a trusted friend. But Stella has a disturbing explanation for the strange sounds.Could the noise in Peggy's head really be a message from the past, from a world beyond the grave?
