There is a delicious irony and humour in this Jamesian story about Eustace and Hilda, an Edwardian brother and sister, with its famous opening scene as nine-year-old Eustace watches an anemone devour a shrimp in a tidepool among the rocks on a Norfolk beach during the summer holidays. A shadow begins to be cast over the children's innocent conversations and gaucherie, revealing their anxieties about themselves, and the constraints of their cosseted lives, as the outside world - of other children, dancing lessons, adults, illness, funerals, money, excursions in landaus, future schools - impinges in Eustace and Hilda's intimacies and fantasies.

The Messenger is the masterpiece of L.P. Hartley, a famous British novelist and critic. It has won the Heinemann Foundation Award of Royal Society of Literature. The film adapted from this book has been nominated for the Academy Award and the Golden Palm awards in Gana International Movie Festival. On a long and hot summer day, 12-year-old Leo was invited to his classmate Marcus, Branham Manor. Out of love and gratitude for Marcus' beautiful sister Marian, Leo, a young and simple man, acted as a secret messenger between Marian and farmer Ted, but was shocked to find their rebellious love despite the barriers of class gap. In the dangerous game of hidden desire between adults, Leo got deeper and deeper, until the tragic ending of Marian and Ted's story stopped abruptly, which made him lose his memory The novel inherits the deep tradition of English literature. It has superb language art and narrative skills. It is full of mystery, hint, metaphor and allusion. It is difficult for you not to read it and it has endless aftertaste.
