Elegy of Innocence
About This Novel
The boy's small body was run over by the train. The summer of 1961 started like this. For thirteen-year-old Frank, this supposedly beautiful summer was cast in shadow. Frank and his brother Jack continue their adventures on the tracks, unaware that they are heading towards their next death that summer. There was a flash of red floating in the river beside the railway track. It was my sister's swaying red dress - was it an accidental slip, or was it premeditated? The secrets of the peaceful town are slowly revealed, and the originally ordinary family is struck down by tragedies one after another. Two teenagers stand on the threshold of adolescence, forced into a world of darkness, lies and betrayal. The strength they possess is courage beyond their years. The railway track outside the door is like a river made of steel. It has been staying in place, and it has been moving forward.
