Still, I haven't been able to finish The Luxe, so let me tell something i've read about the second book in my wishlist: A Song for Summer by Eva Ibbotson.

Eighteen-year-old Ellen never expected the Hallendorf school to be, well, quite so unusual. After all, her life back in England with her suffragette mother and liberated aunts certainly couldn’t be called normal. But buried deep in the beautiful Austrian countryside, Ellen discovers an eccentric world occupied by wild children and even wilder teachers, experimental dancers and a tortoise on wheels. And then there is the particularly intriguing, enigmatic, and very handsome Marek, part-time gardener and fencing teacher. Ellen is instantly attracted to the mysterious gardener, but Hitler’s Reich is already threatening their peaceful world. Only when she discovers Marek’s true identity and his dangerous mission does Ellen realize the depth of her feelings for him—and the danger their newfound love faces in the shadow of war.

I've only read about this book in a website, and i'm very much intrigued with this story because i can feel that there are a lot of secrets to be revealed. I haven't seen this book in my favorite bookshop yet, but i'll keep looking.
