Starred Review. Grade 7 Up–At 15, Thomas Peaceful, like many other English soldiers in World War I, is too young to fight, but he lies about his age. Now at the front in France with his older brother Charlie he stands a lonely nighttime vigil for reasons that are not explained until the book's end, watching the minutes tick by and reflecting on his past. Using first-person narration, Morpurgo draws readers into this young man's life, relating memories that are idyllic, sobering, and poignant. Tommo thinks upon the role he played in his father's accidental death, the adventures that he shared with Charlie, his relationship with his childhood friend Molly, and the experiences that he has had since entering the war. Finally, he describes how Charlie disobeyed a direct order to stay with him after he was wounded in action, fully aware of this decision's dire consequences. While this story is not based on any one individual, Morpurgo has personalized the British tactic of executing their own soldiers "for cowardice or desertion," memorializing these men without passing judgment. While readers see the events through Tommo's eyes, the author does not lose sight of the war's effects on the teen's friends and family. Reminders come in the form of letters from home, relationships with other soldiers, and observations of battles. This thoughtful novel touches on themes of humanity and duty, and features brilliant characters whose personal decisions have earned them their very own badges of honor.–Delia Fritz, Mercersburg Academy, PA

*Starred Review* Gr. 7-12. In this World War I story, the terse and beautiful narrative of a young English soldier is as compelling about the world left behind as about the horrific daily details of trench warfare: the mud, rats, gas attacks, slaughter. At 15, Thomas lied about his age in order to follow his beloved older brother, Charlie, to fight in France. Now, nearly two years later, as Thomas sits waiting in the dark for the horror he knows will come at dawn, he remembers it all. Growing up as a poor farm boy in a happy family, he was always close to Charlie and to their brain-injured brother, Joe, a character Morpurgo draws with rare tenderness and truth. Thomas and Charlie even loved the same girl; Charley married her, but she writes to them both. Thomas also remembers British brutality, from the landlord who threatened the family with eviction if Charlie didn't enlist to the cruel army sergeant who tried to break Charlie's spirit. Charlie may be too perfect, almost a Christ figure, but it's Thomas' viewpoint of the brother he loves. Suspense builds right to the end, which is shocking, honest, and unforgettable. Be sure to add this to titles in the Read-alikes, "War to End All Wars" [BKL N 1 01]. Hazel Rochman

合上书,眼泪还未停止。 查理最后被不公平掩埋,但他仍然唱着《柑橘与柠檬啊》,他和小托说 不要聊过去,不要聊他们的家,他会哭的,他不要哭泣,从小的那一片 土地,那架黄色飞机和鲜美薄荷糖教会他要坚强。 美丽善良的妈妈,凶险邪恶的狼婆婆,温婉如水的茉莉,前后摇晃...

那天傍晚,我坐在窗前看着外面阴霾的天空,那里正酝酿着一场雪,而我浑身的血液仿佛也像沉睡的冰河一样不再流动。房间里飘荡着来苏水的味道,床铺和墙壁都好像生气一样灰白着脸,不时有轻轻的脚步声、低语声、呻吟声……有时候这些声音乱作一团,伴随着金属器械冰冷的撞击声。...

极重阅读体验的一本书,画面感音乐感都很强,只是好像不够圆融统一,也许作者并没有明确地想要表达什么。文字风格轻缓,后部分叙述时态的转换让人想要飘起来。Nothing stays the same.

以前看的中文版,现在看的英文原版。很喜欢 也喜欢中文名的 柑橘与柠檬啊

评分

'i felt a sudden ache in my heart, i dont think it was anger or jealousy, more a pang of loss, of deep grief.'

评分

田园生活的回忆总是甜蜜而忧伤 热烈的手足之情和懵懂的爱恋。后来卷入的战争展现的则是面对残酷 并在其中成长起来的过程。另外 还好这是一个虚构的故事 哪怕已然是难过了。查理真是个一如既往勇敢到最后的人 哪怕面对那么荒谬而悲哀的局面。也愿小兄弟汤米也肩负起未来 属于自己的使命 好好活下去。
