More about the book

Set against a backdrop of a stormy November evening, the story unfolds around a cozy gathering in Uncle Alec's kitchen, where warmth and laughter counter the eerie atmosphere outside. The children engage in a lively game of Blind-Man's Buff, but the fun wanes as Peter deliberately allows himself to be caught to pursue Felicity. This playful dynamic hints at deeper themes of love and attraction, suggesting that emotions can often override the innocence of childhood games, revealing the complexities of young affection amidst the gloom of the outside world.
