Welcome, Santza

What a heartwarming story! It started out in the midst of civil war in Greece, in an abandoned monastery where some sisters give shelter to dozens of war orphans. Chrysantza is a young girl who has no family to claim her; one of the sisters has a small contrivance or else a large gap in her memory, and Santza goes along to England with three siblings who have been friends of hers, of a sort. I love how she throws herself into that role of big-sister and the sweet sacrificial love she shows for them. I also loved Uncle Tom and Aunt Sheila, who took them in!

A new favorite.
