Catherine war. Biye Yu.

The Catherine War is possible, the most peaceful book about the war: there are no explosions, shots and blood in it. All the wounds went to the soul.

A Jewish girl lives under a strange name and wanders around France, fleeing the Nazis. She was incredibly lucky: she meets good people on the way, and she finds her vocation. She has a camera in her hands, and her pictures are unique evidence of the experience.

The author subtly and convincingly shows the growing up of a teenager. This is a book about the power of good, and it is more important that the basis of this piercing narrative is real facts.

About the author: Julia Biye, a famous French writer, author of novels, stories, poems and comics, laureate of numerous awards, including Andersen Awards (2018). Her works are translated into English, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, and now in Russian.
