La guerra de las alondras

Es 1902 cuando Clarry nace en Reino Unido. Sin embargo, su madre muere tras dar a luz. Desde ese momento, su hogar queda invadido por la tristeza, y su hermano Peter y ella crecen al lado de un padre frío y distante. La alegría llega cada verano cuando los hermanos visitan a sus abuelos en Cornualles. Allí, junto con su primo Rupert, disfrutan de la libertad del campo y la playa, hasta que la sombra de la Primera Guerra Mundial comienza a cernirse sobre ellos. Poco a poco, familia y amigos se ven involucrados en el conflicto, pero Clarry, Peter y Rupert luchan por mantenerse fuertes, como las alondras que vuelan sobre los campos de batalla, recordándoles a los soldados que la vida sigue adelante. ¿Podrá la familia superar esta guerra desgarradora? Ganadora del Premio Costa, La guerra de las alondras es una bellísima historia sobre los afectos y las pérdidas de tres chicos que crecen con la Primera Guerra Mundial como telón de fondo.

English

The War of the Larks

It is 1902 when Clarry was born in the United Kingdom. However, her mother died giving birth. From that moment on, her home is invaded by sadness and she and her brother Peter grow up next to a cold and distant father. Joy comes every summer when the siblings visit their grandparents in Cornwall. There, together with his cousin Rupert, they enjoy the freedom of the countryside and the beach until the shadow of the First World War begins to hang over them. Gradually, family and friends become involved in the conflict, but Clarry, Peter and Rupert struggle to stay strong, like larks flying over battlefields, reminding soldiers that life goes on. Can the family overcome this heartbreaking war? Winner of the Costa Award, The War of the Larks is a beautiful story about the affections and losses of three kids who grow up with the First World War as a backdrop.
