A Whisper In The Dark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162650975)

A Whisper In The Dark is a novel written by Louisa May Alcott. The story revolves around a young woman named Christie Devon who is sent to live with her aunt and uncle in the countryside after the death of her parents. Christie is a kind and gentle soul who quickly adapts to her new surroundings and makes friends with the local villagers. However, she soon discovers that her aunt and uncle are not as kind as they appear to be and are hiding a dark secret. As Christie tries to unravel the mystery, she finds herself drawn to a young man named David Sterling, who is also searching for the truth. Together, they embark on a dangerous journey that takes them deep into the heart of the darkness that surrounds them. A Whisper In The Dark is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the power of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of obstacles.I yearned to go, and when I willed the way so on appeared; so careless of bonnetless head and cambric gown, I stretched my hands to him, saying boldly, ""Play young Lochinvar, Guy; I am little and light; take me up before you and show me the sea."".He liked the daring feat, held out his hand, I stepped on his boot toe, sprang up, and away we went over the wide moor, where the sun shone in a cloudless heaven, the lark soared singing from the green grass at our feet, and the September wind blew freshly from the sea. As we paused on the upland slope, that gave us a free view of the country for miles, Guy dismounted, and standing with his arm about the saddle to steady me in my precarious seat, began to talk.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
