This is the Jewish neighbor of the Piper family. She sells eggs in Sydney. She befriends Materia Piper when she finds her sitting by the cliffside, pregnant and alone. She becomes a surrogate mother to Materia, teaching her how to cook and take care of her family. Mrs. Luvovitz delivers all of Materia's daughters and loves them almost as much as she does her own sons. Two of her three sons are killed in the Great War.
