Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Book of Gilly: Four Months Out of a Life is a novel written by Emily Lawless and first published in 1906. The story follows the life of Gilly, a young girl who is sent to live with her Aunt and Uncle in the countryside of Ireland after the death of her mother. Gilly is a bright and curious child who is eager to learn about the world around her. However, her Aunt and Uncle are strict and religious, and they do not encourage her curiosity. Gilly struggles to fit in with her new family and finds solace in her love for nature and animals. As the months pass, Gilly begins to uncover secrets about her family's past and the true nature of her Aunt and Uncle's relationship. She also forms a close bond with a young boy named Ned, who teaches her about the wonders of the natural world. The Book of Gilly is a beautifully written coming-of-age story that explores themes of family, identity, and the power of nature. Emily Lawless's vivid descriptions of the Irish countryside and its inhabitants bring the story to life, and Gilly's journey is both heartwarming and thought-provoking.
