Dewey and the Gordons (The Green Glass Sea) move to Alamogordo where Mr. Gordon is working on the V-2 rocket. Suze tries to negotiate her parents' increasingly strained marriage while Dewey finds out that her long-gone mother is looking for her. Klages again sets her odd-duck girls within a story richly but effortlessly informed by details of era and landscape.
