Publisher's Weekly

Liz, now grown, remembers a time in her childhood when her father was away in the army, her mother and sister busy, her grandparents remote. She turned for friendship to Tatie, a black cook, and Tatie's son Charles, a friendship that led to tragedy. PW said this story "surpasses Lowry's finest in sensitivity and impact. All the characters are wonderfully humanized and memorable.''
