London was under attack (war), Ellen woke up terrified. Hilda, Ellen's mother, wanted to send Ellen to Gertie, Hilda's friend, so she can take care of her parents. Ellen and Hilda stayed in the shelter and the bombs kept falling continously. After a while the attack stopped, Ellen and Hilda went out to search for Hilda's parents. Eventually, Hilda's parents were found dead. Because of the destruction Mabel, Hilda's friend, offer Hilda and Ellen to stay with her.
Bombs kept falling after Hilda's parents funeral. Hilda asked the rescuers for a re-house, but they rejected. Hilda and Mabel sit together, and Hilda start thinking to go with her daughter to Somerset to stay for a while with her friend Gertie, all what Hilda needed was a quite place until the war is over. Ellen's school was to be closed at the end of the month.
Hilda and Ellen arrive to Somerset, Getie welcomes them. On their way to Gertie's house, Gertie and Hilda start recalling their memories together. Gertie's house was away from the town. They arrive to Gertie's house, Ellen starts loving the countryside, and Hilda thinks she took the right decision.
Hi,Rua, it seems you are done with your first task.
ReplyDeleteyou made it short and clear! :) good job Rua! :D
ReplyDeletehmmm..... the mother seems very well how do i put it??.... maybe flimsy?? or the opposite of constant ?? skittish?? fickle??
ReplyDeletemaybe fickle... anyway, what i mean to say is, one minute she's sure of her decision, the next she can't see the reason behind it! but she is a good mother in the three first chapters :)
The mother seems good since she forgets her loss and focuses on her daughter. Any other woman would have been distraught. I like your summary Rua its direct and to the point! :)
ReplyDeleteI also think that Hilda is a good mother.We are still reading the first chapters we can't conclude anything yet. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree i think hilda is a good mother. We are still reading the first chapters we still can't conclude anything. Thank you!!! : )
ReplyDeleteYeah i agree with hala, some other woman would have had a nervous breakdown. And great summary!
