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