Items related to A Song For Summer
When eighteen-year-old Ellen accepts the post of housekeeper at Hallendorf School of Music, Drama and Dance she wasn't expecting it to be quite so unusual. For deep in the beautiful Austrian countryside, she finds an eccentrically magical world occupied by wild children and even wilder teachers, experimental dancers and a tortoise on wheels. Ellen is particularly intrigued by the enigmatic, and very handsome, Marek, part-time gardener and fencing teacher. Life in Hallendorf seems idyllic, but outside Hitler's Reich is already casting its menacing shadow over Europe. Through her growing friendship with Marek, Ellen begins to encounter the dreadful reality of a world on the brink of war. And by the time she has figured out Marek's true identity and his dangerous mission, she is completely in love with him - and equally sure that her love will never be requited.

When Englishwoman Ellen Call assumes the housekeeper position at a unique private school in Austria in 1937, she has no idea what she will encounter. She embarks on her adventure, determined that every child there have what he or she needs to be happy and to succeed. Ellen succeeds in winning the hearts of everyone around her, including the young man who is posing as a grounds keeper in order to hide his true identity and rescue his friends from the Nazis. Narrator Sophie Ward conveys with precision the gentle humor and poignant events of this WWII romance novel. Her portrayal of the many vivid characters with distinct accents and a full range of emotions captivates the listener from first tape to last.
