偽装と正義、美しい心の家族の物語
著者Lauren Wolkとは、"Beyond the Bright Sea"で最初に出会いました。同書では物語の結末が現実的過ぎてあまり好きにはなれなかったのですが、本書"Wolf Hollow"ではLauren Wolkの描く物語の美しさに感動しました。本書は2017年にNewbery Honor Awardを取った物語。同Awardを取ったからといて自動的に感激する物語とは限りませんが、本書はTo Kill a Mocking BirdやWhere the Red Fern Grows等を思い出させ、素晴らしくそして何よりも心が洗われる美しい物語です。対象年齢はMiddle Schoolくらい迄(日本でいう小学校高学年から中学校前半)とはいえ、大人でも十分楽しめます。映画化されても全く驚かないストーリーです。舞台は第二次大戦後の1940年代の米国のCountry side。悪意の嘘で他に罪をかぶせようとするクラスメートの悪女(転校生Betty)と、その陰謀の犠牲になる身寄りのない帰還兵Toby/Jordan。そして、Toby/Jordanを人として信じる正義感にあふれる主人公Annabelleとその家族のGrippingでWhite knuckleシーンが次から次へと出てきます。嘘で塗り固めたBettyの結末、悪意のある嘘に対して最後は躊躇しながらも嘘で応戦するAnnabelleとその家族。そしてようやく(おそらく)幸せを掴んだToby/Jordan。週末一日で読み切るほどのPage turnerでした。Bettyの結末はどうなったか、Toby/Jordanにはなぜ２つの名前があって、結末は？あらすじを記すのがレビューとは思わないので、是非読んでみて下さい。尚、読むにあたって、文章自体は全く難しくはありませんが、農家・酪農家の風景や情報、1940年くらいに使用されていた酪農設備・道具や、野草・森の生き物など情報があると、理解が深まると思います。

I loved this book. The plot- the plot is gripping and enticing, where Betty, an unknown bully comes to live near Wolf Hollow near Annabel. There is a man, Toby, who is mysterious. Betty makes herself seem innocent for extremely bad things, we know that it isnt Toby who did it, we know it is betty, but the characters do not and thta what makes this book so great. You want to read on because you want the characters ro find out thta it is Betty not Toby!! Characters- Annabel, the main character, very likeable, curious and brave. Toby- Mysterious, and used for blame Betty- Horrible bully, blackmaler, dangerous really. Aunt Lily,- Annabels aunt, who thinks it is Toby, a real obstacle character. All the other characters are really good, but these are the characters who root the book. Style of writing- Lauren Wolk writes in a style that is the same as how you think, so it is enticing and believable. the language is amazing!! Age- I would recommend this for extremely good 10 year old readers+, a book for everybody, from ten to extremely old. I am an advanced 10 year old reader and this book was amazing!!
