The Sky is Falling

FROM THE LINER NOTES

Penny and her sister Baby, who lost both their parents in a car accident, have come to live with relatives. Their aunt is married to a strikin, Jewish German man - an intellectual, and a lover of music and arts.

Through Penny's eyes, we witness the fascinating world of the villa: the family camaraderie, the unconventional guests, the peasante neighbors, and so forth. The girls experience friendship, struffles with school and religion, the first furtive feelings of love...and the horrors of war.
