Under a Changing Moon
Under a Changing Moon by Margot Benary-Isbert, reprinted by Bethlehem Books. This is a lovely story of a girl who has just returned from her happy days going to a convent school in France to live with her family in the Rhineland area of Germany in 1866. The story is timeless in how the realistic characters interact. Her five brothers recreate the battle of Lepanto in the flooded basement cellar, they prize pocket knives, and they squabble and fight like normal little boys and apologize and make up. At the same time, the family's Catholic life and culture is intertwined throughout the story.They take their decorated Easter eggs to church to be blessed.
