Book Forest silverado Invalided out of the War and seeking solitude Wing Commander Richard Blunt joins a flow of evacuees leaving bombed cities and towns for the relative safety of the Lake District He forms a bond with the brave and vulnerable Corys de Bainriggs navigating her identity as owner of the family estate this is one of those books where the landscape is almost as much of a character as the people in the novel The village seems to be over run by the war guests people who are escaping the cities and bombing raids elsewhere Richard Blunt is one of them invalided out of the RAF but not before being awarded a VC and escaping an engagement he no longer feels the can go through with he finds himself in Grasmere along with the hoards He is looking for a quiet refuge where he can recover and ends up renting a house on an island owns by Corys Corys is for me the most interesting character she is 17 a tom boy and the owner of her estate her grandfather skipped both his wife and daughter to leave it all to her She is deeply rooted in her land This reminded me of Dorothy Evelyn Smith s novels set in Yorkshire the characters seem like real people flaws and all English Have you ever enjoyed a book so much that you wanted to hold it to your chest keep it to yourself keep it safe If you know what I m talking about then you will understand my feelings towards E M Ward s Forest Silver. Forest Silver epubs As someone who feels most like myself in the woods I thought a book called Forest Silver couldn t go far wrong Even so it took me by surprise My pre order arrived I got it home and started reading right away Within minutes I was captivated From the narrow road they looked down through tree branches to the lake that lay rippled and silver bright behind the dark trunks Almost at the top of the hill they turned off by a little path that led to a gap in the roadside wall Through the gap they could see into the solemn wood of Bainriggs now colourless and vague but so sodden with the day s rain that except in the black tree shadows everything was changed to silver The moonlit rocks the wet sponge of moss upon the ground leaves lit spaces of the beech trunks and the stems of birches always silver but now brighter than in any noontide all these shone and glittered with a light so wan and yet so brilliant that it seemed like the phosphorescence of a world long dead. PDF Forest silver winning the Victoria Cross and being invalided out After jilting his fianc e in London he arrives in the Lake District looking for rest and quiet There he meets 17 year old Corys de Bainriggs it s kind of nerve wracking But wow I felt instantly transported to the Lake District and Grasmere especially The writing is just beautifully descriptive and brings Windermere and environs to life every colour even to how the rain drums down to the high looming hills that enfolds the small disparate village in which the scenes are set All the characters have their own quirks flaws and warmth it evokes the past and yet also how times haven t changed the locals still grumble about outsiders and vice versa I love Cory a fae creature at the beginning not quite girl no boy like something sprung from the Lake District itself and how intersections with other girls and insights into men and women relations open her eyes to a different world than just bogs and farming I am not sure what to make of Richard I do sympathise a bit but also see he really doesn t understand girls and how awkward he is It s an exceptional read and one for all lovers of The Lake District English
