Loyalty, devotion, and even sacrifice hold rewards of their own to renew hope after tragedy. Love can cause hurt, but he who gives love when he hurts the most will reap a joy outweighing the pain.Anders gives meaning to his life in the way he spends it. He will face grave danger to spare those he loves, and though his gifts be diminished, he will share them freely with even the humblest of children. Though never sought, Anders's reward is immense and enduring, showing the millions of reasons to go on sharing even the simplest of gifts.

One has to find exactly the right balance in language between several extremes - characters a reader can identify with and a strong plot without too much deviation, but the right kind of material to express more complex human experiences like irreversible loss, hope in seeming impossibility, and the struggle to thrive in acceptance rather than to wither in resignation. Nagele does this with apparent ease.The book is a joy to read. On top of that, I think that many will find it to offer something subtle but very valuable. A lot of books that young adults typically read in school have messages that, when whittled down, are frankly little more than depressing warnings. But this one is different - the reader is instead offered a look at what benefits might be found by handling fate in a more positive way. It's very enlightening.This book does use names and places that are reminiscent of the life and times of Hans Christian Andersen. However, it is not a biography. Instead, it taps into a bit of the magic from Andersen's fairy tales and uses his contemporary "real" world as a setting for Nagele's own characters. It's really well done, and has just enough of a connection to Andersen's world to have encouraged me to go out and learn about him, too. That's another plus about this book - it piqued my curiosity and I ended up reading and exploring more than just what its pages contain.I would recommend this book without hesitation. It's something that a young adult can tackle, but offers something that people of any age can appreciate and benefit from. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Wolters 5*****StarsBook: A Housefly in AutumnAuthor: Scott NageleGenre: YA/Historical FictionLength: Approximately 198 PagesA HOUSEFLY IN AUTUMN by SCOTT NAGELE is listed as a YA, but this book is for the young, the old and everyone in between. The setting is 19th century Europe and starts out with a gifted young writer with endless possibilities for the future. In one brief heroic moment, his dreams are shattered and the future no longer holds the endless possibilities he was once afforded. The message in this book is so important, everyone should be able to relate to it.I must admit that I read a lot of books. I enjoy many different genres, styles of writing and author’s imaginations. I’m lucky because when I read a book, no matter when or where it takes place, the author’s words transport me into their world. Sometimes this is a good thing. Sometimes it’s not so good. In A HOUSEFLY IN AUTUMN, the character of Anders Christiansen reached out of the pages, grabbed me by the throat and made me fall in love with him, care about him and feel his humble pain.When I first picked this book up, I didn’t stop reading until I was 22% into the book. I only stopped there, because my vision is bad and my eyes couldn’t see the words on the page any longer. My first update on Goodreads was, “What a beautifully sad start.” Mr. Nagele made me feel the glory in achievement, as well as the pain and grief of losing something so very important to the main character, Anders. Mr. Nagele’s writing throughout the book was flawless and took me back to that simpler time in history and helped me become a part of the time and life of the main character.You’re going to need two things readily available when you get to the end of this book; a box of tissues and a quiet place to read where people won’t look at you weird because you are crying so hard and making faces trying to keep your eyes clear enough to read. When you get to that point in the book, it will not cross your mind to put the book down long enough to wipe your face, blow your nose and dry your tears. You just won’t want to take the time away from the book to do any of that.A HOUSEFLY IN AUTUMN by SCOTT NAGELE made it deep into the selection process of the 2012 ABNA (Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award) process and rightly so. This book is an amazing read.Like most readers, I have my favorites in genres, those books that are my go-to books that I read and re-read many times. I also gift those books to friends and family members. In that vein, I’d like to say that A HOUSEFLY IN AUTUMN is a book that everyone would enjoy. To go farther, I think that if you only purchased one book this year, this should be the one.A HOUSEFLY IN AUTUMN by SCOTT NAGELE is a book I won’t soon forget and one that I can promise you, I will be reading again. This book surpassed any expectations I had when I opened the first page and quickly soared to my favorite Historical Fiction novel I’ve ever read. The writing was impeccable and I fell head over heels in love with the characters. As a reader, I’m thrilled this gem of a book crossed my Kindle.This book reached out and touched my heart and more importantly, made me feel.

Silk, Author/Reviewer This is a story suitable for young adults, one which all should read, as well as adults. It is set in 19th Century Europe and the author's writing is styled to that time frame. Anders Christiansen is four years old when his father, a fisherman, returns from the sea on a day in 1816. He loves his father who thrills him with stories which he loves to hear. He soon begins sharing his own tales delighting other classmates and teachers as he grows older. When he is 14 years old, his creative stories become more about people rather than animals and objects. He starts to observe more people and listening to them as they gather in markets and business places. Soon he is chosen to attend a university away from home. The professors at the university recognize his valued gift as high quality and seek to promote and guide him to be very successful. After a year at school, a message is hand-delivered to him which states his father has been lost at sea and his mother is gravely ill. He's to return home immediately. Soon his mother dies, and as he returns to college, it's difficult for him to find a rooming house. Very soon, his life changes dramatically, but he has one faithful friend who wishes to help him: a large white dog. This is a remarkable tale of survival, compassion, and the struggles in making the most of one's life. This story is written mostly as from a story teller, with little dialog, but it's a remarkable tale for young readers if they are encouraged to take the time to engulf themselves into this meaningful story. Highly recommend.
