Не знам дали не съм малко твърде критична към тази книга, може би очакването ми е вдигнало малко летвата.

In the heat of late afternoon, a young boy waits at the station for his father. A plume of steam, white against the purple-heathered hills, marks the train. Beyond, blooming along the shoreline, the flowers of high summer, as a tall-funnelled paddle steamer beats and froths down the wide Clyde es...
