Why this must be read: Becauseluzula is absolutely fascinated by the story of Fraser's family and never misses an opportunity to explore the people and history of the Frasers. Here she writes about Benton as a teenager going through puberty, the same analytical, serious, logical Benton we're used to, but younger, more open, curious about his body and the world around him.
luzula has a deft touch with words, skillfully guiding Benton's narrative from external events to an internal contemplation of a more serious nature. She's extremely talented at showing us little domestic details that bring life to the story and make it real. The way she portrays Benton's grandparents as reserved, hard-working people who are trying to raise an unexpected teenage boy is subtly heartbreaking.
The snow squeaked under his boots as he walked down the newly plowed road to his grandparents' cabin. The sun had long since set, but the snow and stars turned the night into a half-gloom where he could easily see where he walked. Benton enjoyed walking, he liked the sense of his legs working while his mind was thinking of other things. His body had finally started doing what he told it, which was a nice change from the awkwardness of growing into arms and legs that seemed too long for him. He could skate as well as Mark, and hit the puck with the satisfaction of knowing it would go where he wanted.
