Amy’s junior year was really bad – bad enough that she is more than willing to leave her Seattle high school and go to live with her great-aunt Mae in her trailer home in the Northern Cascade Mountains, just to break away from her abusive boyfriend. Henry, along with his grandfather and his ailing mother, has lived the same summer, over and over again for more years then he really knows – ever since a fateful summer in the 1940’s. Then one day Amy walks out of the mist surrounding Henry’s world – unknowingly ready to change both their worlds.
The Clearing is tender and wistful and full of love. Davis’ writing is so sweet, without being sugary, that I couldn’t put it down. It feels like an old-fashioned romance novel. Beautiful.
