Description
Gregory and his little sister, Janet, have noticed that their housekeeper has been upset lately. She misses the Ukrainian house where she used to stay. The house was where there was a picture of the Madonna and Child, which helped bring “warmth and blessing” to the home. Gregory, who is normally withdrawn and self-isolating, makes it his quest to bring a bit of comfort and happiness into the home for the housekeeper, Marta. Only, one problem. The Child and Madonna painting is actually quite expensive. Gregory’s family can’t afford such lavish purchases, especially when they can’t even afford proper clothes. With his little sister in tow, he desperately tries to come up with a plan B. He doesn’t want Marta to leave, just as their other housekeepers have left in the past. How will he ever get the money? 103 pgs, hc. ~ Brianna
Publisher's Description of Kitchen Madonna
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.
Master storyteller Rumer Godden deftly brings to life a portrait of a lonely boy discovering the creative power of love. The Kitchen Madonna is enhanced with five sepia-tone illustrations and one color kitchen Madonna illustration by professional illustrator Lydia Halverson.
