In 1941, a Jewish girl whose parents were the victims of a roundup lives with a host family without tenderness in Belgium. She is so unhappy that she decides to run away to travel across Europe to find his parents "who went to the East." Army only a compass, it will cross on foot Belgium, Germany, Poland and Ukraine, and this survives largely odyssey through his furious instinct for survival and its extraordinary adoption by wolves. Actually, the side "list of war atrocities observed by a little girl of seven years" of the novel me tired. In 250 pages, scroll: a roundup that will result in the arrest of Mishke parents, food theft obliged to survive, lack of human compassion, rape and murder of a young Russian woman, murder a man (professional soldier) by a little girl of eight years (!) while trying to rape her, the massacre of a convoy of children by Nazi bombing (including the Pont d'Anderlecht (!)), the meeting with the Polish partisans, the mass graves of view, the finding of abandoned villages and / or burned. The "pompon" to me was the scene of the Warsaw ghetto: how a girl under 10 could - after what seemed at most a few hours - to put forward a convoy of carts filled with corpses Jews to pick up the bodies when dropped and hoist them to the strength of his arms again in these carts, far beyond my understanding ... Despite two attempts full of good will, I have managed to finish the book in showing a great discipline ... and I absolutely remember the end! In addition to the side "shallow enumeration (?)" I thought the style was too gasping for my taste and sometimes it seemed to have read the same thing but also far better thinking and writing. In fact, I almost would come to think that it was necessary for the author and publishers to increase this storytelling for a "real document history" in order to move to the cash drawer ... otherwise nobody ' would have paid attention.
