Book summary

In a valley in the Tyrol, two young Englishmen on their travels, Will Deverill, a poet and musician, and his friend Florian Wood, discover Linnet, a young dairymaid who sings with an exceptional voice. The village innkeeper, her singing teacher, wants to make her an opera singer and marry her. But a jealous young hunter is courting her too.

From mountain pastures to the opera stage, a story of love and ambition in which a rare voice draws every eye.

Told with humour, this story is easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

像鸟儿一样歌唱的姑娘。秋天,在蒂罗尔的阿尔卑斯山里,牛群角上插着花,从山上走下来。牧牛的姑娘跟在后面唱着歌。两位英国旅人被她的歌声吸引,停下了脚步。她名叫莉娜,村里人却叫她琳内特——在英语里,这是一种小鸣禽的名字。她害羞地停了下来,说。

The world of the book

从蒂罗尔的高山牧场到伦敦的剧院。小说开始于奥地利阿尔卑斯山中的齐勒河谷。夏天,年轻姑娘们独自住在高处牧场的木屋里,放牛、做奶酪。这个河谷也走出了许多歌手,他们唱遍整个欧洲。本书沿着这条路,从高山牧场一直走到意大利和伦敦。
