I have always loved Noel Streatfeild's books and as a child I got my library to ILL them for me or hunted through second hand book stores to find all of them. She tells the perfect "girls stories". I was always able to find one character in each book that was my favorite. They definitely stand up to re-reads. A typical Streatfeild family, with a highly gifted 12-year-old violinist, have been travelling around the world for a couple of years. However the other children long for a permanent home. There's a talented ballet dancer, a potential popular song writer who also likes to recite, and a very nicely drawn big sister who doesn't think she has any real talent at all. It's a lovely book set in the middle of the 20th century, featuring family values and relationships. There's some mild humour and several surprisingly moving sections. Recommended for anyone of about eight or over, including adults. Great as a read-aloud, too. Not one of my most favorites--everyone seems to whine a lot, Wolfgang is one of her more insufferable characters, Ethel is just a copy of Posy Fossil, Sebastian is "sensitive" (and suffers from "exhaustion"), and Myra is too good to be true. And of course as usual the servants are much more sensible and responsible than the parents. Oh, and those hilarious foreigners! They just get so overemotional! Still, it's never dull, and before you know it you've read the whole thing in one go. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
What Myra and Ettie long for now is a home of their own, not a hotel in Vienna, or Venice or Moscow. But how can they convince their parents of that when their parents believe that becoming world citizens is all any child could ever want. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

After four long years of touring, Myra, the eldest, feels it's time to begin Operation Home. That's not easy, since Mum won't split the family up, Sebastian can't stop touring if he wants the priceless Amati violin, and worst of all, Apple Bough, their home, has been sold. How can Myra convince the family she's right?
