Paperback. Condition: new. Turner, Susan Vaughn (illustrator). Paperback. Alice Rainich Nichols concludes her peripatetic trilogy in this third cultural adventure/memoir, following her earlier works, Orbiting in Eccentric Circles, and The Lobster Rode in on a Bicycle. In a lush, tropical setting, totally unlike Ann Arbor, Alice eases into the life of a married woman and new mother of twins as an American expat. Join her as she copes with Coco, the beloved poodle who isn't concerned with burglars; becomes a landlord to "genteel" and litigious Polish nobility; steers neighbor children clear of a pair of troublesome monkeys; and shepherds her in-laws through a Latin American revolution. This latest smart, funny, and broadly informative volume touches on Latin American culture and politics in mid-20th century Venezuela; American Oil concerns in the 1950s and early 60s; family relations; and experiences anyone who has traveled with small children will understand. The wild adventures continue . Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

In this memoir, Alice Rainich Nichols relates a lifetime of family lore and experience, sharing tales of her father, world-renowned mathematician Yuri Germanovich Rabinovich/G Y Rainich; her mother Sophie, born into luxury and destined to become a long-suffering university wife; and Babushka, the Russian-born grandmother who brought a box of mysterious pictures for seven-year-old Alice from an far away uncle, revealing a world of new horizons to the little girl from Michigan. Along the way, we meet a ple- thora of brilliant and absent-minded professors, wandering mathematical geniuses, oddball neighbors and colleagues, and the flamboyantly self-important Count Korzybski.
