- Synopsis
- To eleven-year-old Lotte, the eighth by that name to have lived in the old Danish farmhouse, it was unthinkable that her beloved mother should marry an American and plan to take Lotte to live in New York! How could they leave Lotte’s wise and loving grandmother, the old house with its special “Lotte Room,” the village so rich in history where her father was buried—all that was dearest to them? Through the months that followed the wedding, Lotte struggled with her unhappiness, determined—when the summer holiday began—to run away instead of sailing for New York, so that she might stay in Denmark. With understanding and compassion, intimate knowledge of Denmark’s history and people, and the skill of a master storyteller, Virginia Sorensen resolves Lotte’s conflict in a deeply moving story, richly evocative of the past and vividly portraying the present, that is a welcome successor to Miracles on Maple Hill, winner of the Newbery Medal.
