This is an automatically translated description

A tiny village on a tropical island in the South Pacific. All the whites have flown to Australia, war is approaching from the other end of the island, and the school has been closed for three months. Suddenly, Mr Watts, the only white person left on the island, living as a hermit, resumes school. <"Children," he says, "I'm going to introduce you to Mr Dickens. He doesn't know much, this Watts, but what he does know, he presents to the children as a precious gift. A bit of love and stories to think about and even invent, which teach you to be ready for change, to get along with it, but to remain human. A deep and vivid book about the struggle between two identities in the soul of one little girl. It is about the formation of a personality, about betrayal and self-sacrifice that each of us is capable of. About war and its horrors. About jealousy and courage.
