Lorna Person's tale is wrested from the shadows cast by her sister, Lonnie, whose rages command the full attention of her parents. Their San Fernando Valley household is off-key and out of kilter, a place where Lonnie sees evil in the morning toast and runs into the Burbank hills to join the animals that seem more like her kin. Lorna, on the other hand, is an acutely sensitive girl who can't relate to Barbie. \"Could Barbie feel sorrow? Could Barbie understand what it's like to be plump, lonely, Jewish?\" \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eMy Sister from the Black Lagoon\u003c\/i\u003e is a wisecracked bell jar, a heartbreaking study of sane and crazy. Laurie Fox's delightful voice is knowing yet wide-eyed, lyrical, and witty.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871656038558,"sku":"HPC-9780684855387","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780684855387.jpg?v=1779618334","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780684855387","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
