It is told by Matilda (Tilly) Higgins, who, after falling in the forbidden lake at the Hall and being rescued by an angel, or a ghost, or even the watching Will Potter, loses her sister and father as they emigrate to America and then ends up as a maidservant at the Hall.

Frost by M.P. Kozlowsky | Goodreads

It is definitely a depressing read, especially when she finally meets another human, a boy her age called Flynn, only to be taken from him straight to the evil genious himself, the Good Lord John. It was a bizarre read showing that although the war was against the robots, it was humans who created the incredibly intelligent robots to begin with. Unfortunately for them, the robots were too intelligent and soon enough realised that they were superior so no longer had use for the humans. I found it a little scary because technology is becoming increasingly advanced so the story doesn’t seem that far off a potential reality. But let’s not go down that road for now. This was so slow. It was an interesting idea, but unfortunately poorly executed. The ending was not what I wanted after reading all of that. Robert Frost continues to hold a unique and almost isolated position in American letters. “Though his career fully spans the modern period and though it is impossible to speak of him as anything other than a modern poet,” writes James M. Cox, “it is difficult to place him in the main tradition of modern poetry.” In a sense, Frost stands at the crossroads of 19th-century American poetry and modernism, for in his verse may be found the culmination of many 19th-century tendencies and traditions as well as parallels to the works of his 20th-century contemporaries. Taking his symbols from the public domain, Frost developed, as many critics note, an original, modern idiom and a sense of directness and economy that reflect the imagism of Ezra Pound and Amy Lowell. On the other hand, as Leonard Unger and William Van O’Connor point out in Poems for Study,“Frost’s poetry, unlike that of such contemporaries as Eliot, Stevens, and the later Yeats, shows no marked departure from the poetic practices of the nineteenth century.” Although he avoids traditional verse forms and only uses rhyme erratically, Frost is not an innovator and his technique is never experimental.Most of the story felt like a creepy gothic ghost story but the end felt like too many confessions, everyone sorting their problems out and the start of a romance, most of which felt out of place with the time period. Aimed at YA readers, I feel this would connect with teen readers better than tweens, but is still suitable for around 6th grade and up. Profanity is sparse with perhaps 2 mild utterances. Sexual content is absent with merely a lingering kiss after a heroic rescue. Violence is the most prevalent element, but still limited and described in broad terms. The author could have easily inserted more graphic material, but reigned it in to keep this work accessible to a younger audience. Tilly ist 12jährige Protagonistin und sie erzählt aus ihrer Sichtweise in der Ich-Perspektive. Die Kapitel sind recht kurz so dass man recht schnell vorwärtskommt. Auch die Sätze sind teilweise recht knapp, was das Tempo zusätzlich antreibt und was ich eigentlich nicht so gerne mag. The people she meets along the way and the horrific sights she endures fight against the hope she carries within her. Nothing can diminish her love for her family, her pet and even the strangers she meets.

With creepy rooms, terrified maids, a house-keeper who seems to be hiding something and Lady Barrington mad with mourning, Frost Hollow Hall is a compelling read. The poem's speaker tells us he "shall be telling", at some point in the future, of how he took the road less traveled … yet he has already admitted that the two paths "equally lay / In leaves" and "the passing there / Had worn them really about the same." So the road he will later call less traveled is actually the road equally traveled. The two roads are interchangeable. Ich kann das Buch Freunden von viktorianische Schauergeschichten nur wärmstens empfehlen, genauso wie die anderen Bücher von Emma Carroll- ich wünschte, es gäbe mehr Autorinnen wie sie! Francis, Lesley Lee, The Frost Family's Adventure in Poetry: Sheer Morning Gladness at the Brim, University of Missouri Press (Columbia), 1994. Tensions arise between Lady Barrington, Mrs Jessop, the housekeeper, and other members of staff and eventually, after an ill-fated séance, Tilly is dismissed, much to her disappointment for she was determined to unravel the mystery of Hollow Hall.

About the contributors

The poem consists of four stanzas of five lines each. With the rhyme scheme as 'ABAAB', the first line rhymes with the third and fourth, and the second line rhymes with the fifth. The meter is basically iambic tetrameter, with each line having four two-syllable feet, though in almost every line, in different positions, an iamb is replaced with an anapest. I loved the inclusion of séances which were all the rage during that time period. The author highlights how many people desperately believed in these while others were more sceptical.

Dadurch lässt sie sich aber nicht unterkriegen, auch wenn sie mit vielen Enttäuschungen zu kämpfen hat. Sie verliert nicht den Mut und merkt am Ende, dass Träume und Hoffnungen natürlich schöne Ziele sind, man dabei aber nicht das aus den Augen verlieren und wertschätzen sollte, was man hat. Will is pretty cute too and I'm glad this never really turned into a love-triangle. I like how Will started off almost arrogant and annoying but throughout the story we see kindness in his actions and it becomes clear that he really does care for Tilly. I was rooting for him by the end. Tilly’s adventures at Frost Hollow Hall are very cleverly plotted, with plenty of twists and turns, with some wonderfully dramatic moments, and a lovely selection of those familiar elements that you so often find in ghost stories. Meanwhile Tilly’s mother has problems, and of course her daughter wants to support her; and Tilly’s relationship with Will – who delivers meat to the hall – moves along nicely. All of the elements work together very well. Tilly saw the angel again, in her dreams. She realised that there was something he wanted; he wanted her to go to Frost Hollow Hall, and to make the reveal the truth of what had happened there ten years earlier.

We enjoyed the the ideas behind this story, the mysterious deaths and coincidences, the ghost story elements were good and creepy, there was plenty to speculate about. Ansonsten war die Darstellung der Verhältnisse damals aber echt gut beschrieben. Tilly selbst wächst in einer Familie auf, die sehr mit der Armut zu kämpfen hat und mit ihren 12 Jahren muss sie genauso zum Einkommen beitragen wie ihre ältere Schwester. Aber sie hat nicht nur mit Geldnot zu kämpfen, auch in der Familie selbst fühlt sie sich nicht wirklich angenommen und trägt eine tiefgreifende Traurigkeit in sich, die sie oft einsam macht. Grade, Arnold, editor, Family Letters of Robert and Elinor Frost, State University of New York Press, 1972. To accomplish such objectivity and grace, Frost took up 19th-century tools and made them new. Lawrance Thompson has explained that, according to Frost, “the self-imposed restrictions of meter in form and of coherence in content” work to a poet’s advantage; they liberate him from the experimentalist’s burden—the perpetual search for new forms and alternative structures. Thus Frost, as he himself put it in “The Constant Symbol,” wrote his verse regular; he never completely abandoned conventional metrical forms for free verse, as so many of his contemporaries were doing. At the same time, his adherence to meter, line length, and rhyme scheme was not an arbitrary choice. He maintained that “the freshness of a poem belongs absolutely to its not having been thought out and then set to verse as the verse in turn might be set to music.” He believed, rather, that the poem’s particular mood dictated or determined the poet’s “first commitment to metre and length of line.” Lathem, Edward C. and Lawrence Thompson, editors, Robert Frost: Farm Poultryman; The Story of Robert Frost's Career As a Breeder and Fancier of Hens, Dartmouth Publishers, 1963.
