Grave Allegra

Helen V. Kerr

4.9/5 (27184 ratings)

Description:Allegra Winters loved to travel with her foreign service father and her mother, an experienced hostess and helpmeet in this area. During her father's varied assignments, she had lived in many glamourous world capitals, had studied ballet seriously, had gone to the theatre and concerts all her life, and enjoyed being the only child of such interesting parents.Suddenly on her thirteenth birthday, she heard she could not go with them to her father's latest post because of difficulties in schooling and climate, but would be spending the year with her cousins and their parents on their ranch in California. Her three young cousins were crazy about horses rather than anything in the field of the arts.Allegra felt pretty sorry for herself at first, and even resentful toward her parents, though all her relatives tried to share some of her interests, and she made a half-hearted effort to adjust to this completely different way of life. Still, the fact that she shied away from horses was a barrier to real understanding between Allegra and her cousins. Though she found a way to keep up her dancing, and made some congenial friends, it was a time of strain for all concerned until something happened that opened Allegra's eyes to a lot of things about herself and to other ways of looking at life.Such a story gives a picture of different ways of living without showing either as the better one--just different. Like Allegra, the reader will have a chance to see that the world is so full of a great many things, you can't be sure your own backyard is better than any place else.--Description from book jacket flaps.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
