Om denne bog
Growing up in the care of her grandparents on Belhaven Farm, Lizzie Craig discovers as a small child that she can see into the future. But her gift is selective - she doesn''t, for instance, see that she has an older sister who will come to join the family. As her ''pictures'' foretell various incidents and accidents, she begins to realise a painful truth: she may glimpse the future, but she can seldom change it. Nor can Lizzie change the feelings that come when a young man named Louis, visiting Belhaven for the harvest, begins to court her. Why have the adults around her not revealed that the touch of a hand can change everything? After following Louis to Glasgow, though, she learns the limits of his devotion. Faced with a seemingly impossible choice, she makes a terrible mistake. But her second sight may allow her a second chance. Luminous and transporting, The Road from Belhaven once again displays ''the marvelous control of a writer who conjures equally well the tangible, sensory world... and the mysteries, stranger and wilder, that flicker at the border of that world.'' - The Boston Globe
