A scarlet ribbon opens a secret world
Rosemary Starr is twenty-five and has never left her little valley. She climbs the Hill of the Muses, where nine white birches become Muses in her imagination. When the school bell rings below, she ties a scarlet ribbon to the lowest branch. That ribbon tells the teacher, Alden Marsh, that she is waiting.
Alden arrives breathless and complaining. He is bored to the bone by teaching fifty restless children, and he hates the family vineyard even more. Rosemary listens, then suggests they lay out their moods like cards on a table. For three years he has lent her books, including a little red book of sonnets.
Her fancy hides how plain she believes she is, and how little she expects from life.
A true friendship starts where two lonely people tell each other the truth.
That’s 1 of 10 key points.
