About This Book

The narrative returns to a bustling multigenerational household where grandparents, grown children, and grandchildren maintain a warm, lively home after years of change. A sickly boy sent from a hotter climate arrives to live with his grandparents, and scenes dwell on everyday care, family decisions about moving to a suburban villa, and the gentle routines that knit relatives together. Emphasis falls on childhood pleasures, the boy’s affectionate relationships with a clever dog and a voracious kitten, minor domestic crises and recoveries, and the steady, affectionate labor that sustains family life and reveals small acts of devotion.
