The Landing by: John Ibbitson

genre: fiction

I have never heard of this author [John Ibbitson] before, but the day I picked up this book I was feeling hopeful. Little did I know the word hope distinguishes this novel.
An inspiring story of a fifteen year old boy living in a run down, empty town caused by the Great Deppresion. The most excitement for him in months has been a wealthy widowed cottager moving to the island across the lake. She hires the boy to fix up her cottage and do her errons. Soon the women and boys relationship takes a turn: she learns that he plays the violin. Could his self taught talent renew his life long hope, or leave him in the one place he knows?
This story will in a way suprisingly leave you satisfied or maybe even a sense of hope.
