A Half Forgotten Song

By Katherine Webb

Book Overview

In Half Forgotten Song , fourteen-year-old Mitzy Hatcher's lonely life on the wild Dorset coast is changed forever when renowned artist Charles Aubrey arrives to summer there with his exotic mistress and daughters. Mitzy develops a bond with the Aubrey household, gradually becoming Charles's muse. Over the next three summers, a powerful love is kindled in her that grows from childish infatuation to something far more complex...

Customer Reviews

You feel Surrounded in Mist

This book gave you several differing plot lines, each one interesting. There are love stories, deaths, hauntings and more. I typically don't like to read descriptive paragraphs and I skip to the action. Her paragraphs are like reading poetry, and I have even underlined some of the sentences because they are so beautiful. My only disappointment is that it is printed in very small print!
