Description
Abigail, a coming-of-age tale set against the backdrop of WWII-era Hungary, is a story of a headstrong teenager's journey towards self-discovery. Gina, the only child of a general, is devastated when her father tells her he must leave on a mission and sends her to boarding school in the countryside. She soon finds herself in a grim religious institution, where she rebels against her teachers and fellow students, and runs away.
Caught and brought back, Gina is left with no choice but to entrust her fate to the legendary Abigail, a classical statue of a woman with an urn that stands on the school's grounds. According to legend, if you're in trouble, leave a message with Abigail and help will be on the way. For Gina, who is in much deeper trouble than she could possibly suspect, a life-changing adventure is only beginning.
This story of suspense and self-discovery is reminiscent of the deceptiveness of appearances, with a picture of irreverent students, eccentric teachers, and boarding-school life that will appeal to fans of coming-of-age tales. With its thrilling plot and suspenseful atmosphere, Abigail is a compelling read for anyone looking for a story that will keep them engaged until the very end.
