The Secrets We Kept

Author

Lara Prescott

Author	Lady Augusta Gregory

The Lantern Bearers

Author	Rosemary Sutcliff
ISBN	0192755064

Rosemary Sutcliff's books so often bring a strange, tearful, lovely lump to my throat, and a strange, gut-wrenching mist to my eyes that tugs at my heart strings so beautifully. How does she do it, I wonder?

'I sometimes think that we stand at sunset,' Eugenus said after a pause. 'It may be that...
