(1) 4-6 Sisters Matilda, Frances, and Elizabeth live in a tiny suburb near Sydney. In fall 1954, the neighboring house becomes the hideaway of Australia's Soviet ambassador who has defected. Dubosarsky captures place and period with the heightened awareness of a dream. In lucid, poetic prose she explores the acute but partial perceptions of children struggling with a world under threat.
