A new doctor has arrived in Green Hill!Sarah told me so this morning when she brought in my breakfast. She set the tray down with an agitated thump, and after her strong arms had raised me a little higher among the pillows, she stepped back, folded her hands beneath her apron, and fixed me with a portentous eye."Now do try and relish your breakfast, Miss Mavis," she coaxed, "there's a good girl!"An undercurrent of excitement colored her tone. I looked upon her with suspicion. But I know my Sarah. Like Fate, and the village fire-company, she is not to be hurried. Very casually, I reached for my glass of milk. Years of lying comparatively flat on a useless back tend to the development of patience as a necessity."What time is it?" I inquired conversationally. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Mavis, a resident of a New England town in her early 20's, has been bedridden for about half her life because of a terrible accident. She can't sit, stand or walk. A new young doctor comes to town and begins to work with her, convinced that she can recover. She resents him and he's a bit tough on her.
About the same time, Mavis begins to correspond with a poet whose book she has fallen in love with. He uses a pen name, so she doesn't know who he actually is. (And if you can't see the resolution to this part of the plot a mile away, I don't know what to say.)
But lots more things have to happen. What I have described is probably not even half of the story. In the second half the setting is completely different. It is CUBA. But if I were to explain why, I think it would be considered a spoiler. (
