A Winter Emerald

von

„A Winter Emerald“ is a simple, poetic and painstakingly truthful story of teenage love, written by a teenager between 1964 and 1969. It provides a unique record of life in Home Counties England in the 1960s, detailing the lives of a group of teenage friends, and the love between two of them, David and Christine. „To whisper a short hymn to the world in harmony as it turns in the obscurity of space, to speak with the voice of the planet and sing its songs, to paint in miniature one tattered corner of confused contouring and hesitant building under the rim of the Chiltern hills, to explore the universe in a meadow, and find the kingdom of heaven in a puddle.“
