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

像鳥兒一樣歌唱的姑娘。秋天,在提洛的阿爾卑斯山裡,牛群角上插著花,從山上走下來。牧牛的姑娘跟在後面唱著歌。兩位英國旅人被她的歌聲吸引,停下了腳步。她名叫莉娜,村裡人卻叫她琳內特——在英語裡,這是一種小鳴禽的名字。她害羞地停了下來,說。

The world of the book

從提洛的高山牧場到倫敦的劇院。小說開始於奧地利阿爾卑斯山中的齊勒河谷。夏天,年輕姑娘們獨自住在高處牧場的木屋裡,放牛、做起司。這個河谷也走出了許多歌手,他們唱遍整個歐洲。本書沿著這條路,從高山牧場一直走到義大利和倫敦。
