Marta is unhappy. For quietly aloof Gregory and his sister Janet,
Marta, with her thick Ukrainian accent, her good cooking, and her
stories, is the anchor of the house. Mother and Father, both busy
architects, are gone all day and sometimes at night. Marta is
always there; and the children, sensing her unhappiness, do not
want her to go away. When they find out that Marta desires a
"good place" in the kitchen, nine-year-old Gregory, with
precocious young Janet in tow, sets out to find her a Ukrainian
icon in busy, modern London. Master storyteller Rumer Godden
deftly brings to life a portrait of a lonely boy discovering the
creative power of love. Illustrated.
