A captivating story filled with English charm, luminous wisdom, and astonishing spiritual insight. Mary Lindsay is a born and bred Londoner who has enjoyed her city life—a prestigious job, and friends with whom she takes in the city pleasures of theatre, art and music. But fleeting memories of a childhood visit to her father''s elderly cousin out in the country are revived with the news that the woman has willed her home, the Laurels, to Mary. She makes an uncharacteristically sudden and life-changing decision to leave London for the country. The gradual unfolding of her understanding of herself, of the now-deceased woman who has bequeathed her home to Mary, and of the people of Appleshaw, all weave together in a most memorable story of love''s redemptive power.

Ce livre est sans doute l''un des meilleurs portiques pour accéder à l''œuvre, un temps oubliée, d''Elizabeth Goudge (1900-1984), dont les romans (L''Arche dans la tempête, Le Pays du Dauphin Vert) connurent juste avant et juste après la guerre un extraordinaire succès - et que la critique salua comme une nouvelle Emily Brontë. Au-dessus du petit port de Torquay, dans l''Ouest de l''Angleterre, la Colline aux Gentianes et son antique chapelle semblent monter la garde à la lisière de deux mondes : poste-frontière entre l''Ici et l''Ailleurs. De là-haut, pour peu qu''on n''ait pas froid aux yeux, l''on découvre ce que promet demain : une navigation parmi les écueils. C''est ce qu''a tôt compris Zachary, déserteur de quinze ans qui ne supporte pas la vie à bord (nous sommes à l''heure des guerres napoléoniennes) et qui cherche dans un trou perdu de la plus banale campagne à oublier sa peur - et à se faire oublier. Mais le passé s''arrange toujours pour vous rattraper par la manche. Le garçon rencontrera sur son chemin la petite Stella, une gamine encore mais qui en fascine plus d''un. Stella non plus n''est pas d''ici. Adoptée par des paysans, elle a toujours eu le sentiment d''avoir habité en rêve un autre pays. La vraie vie, nous est-il suggéré à mi-voix, est forcément ailleurs : un ailleurs que les âmes en rupture de ban - déserteurs, naufragés, enfants sans père ni mère - ont pour mission de découvrir, au besoin en s''y cassant les dents. Du rêve considéré comme une école d''existence.
