The Girdle of Melian

oooo close to the end of Larksong ! Larksong is set in a lakeside town on the outskirts of Montreal, in July 1914. In chapters 1 to 10, Alice arrives at the family cottage following her grandmother's funeral, to take care of her grandmother's aviary--only to find that her parents have already leased the cottage to another prominent Montreal family. The only way she can have one final summer in her favourite place is to surreptitiously take on the role of governess to the two young girls.

They can't seem to stop arguing over everything--including the rumours of political events in Europe. As they spend their evenings together ove
