This is an automatically translated description

War... Ruined lives, raped youth, abandoned children. Tollef Olsen begins to search for his biological mother, who abandoned him back in 1945. Thus, we are transported from Norway to Canada, where the elderly Natalia Muller lives. Why does she avoid meeting her son? What is she hiding? How will the search for justice end? The value of Chantal Garan's novel lies not only in the delicate style and fascinating narrative composition, but also in its authenticity, as the work is based on real events. The author collected testimonies, worked in archives, and interviewed the main characters, whose names have been changed, of course. Thus, in 2018, the novel Natalia appeared, which in today's Ukraine is gaining a new interpretation, starting with the scenes of Lviv occupied by Soviet troops in 1940, the heroine's stories about Ukraine at that time, and the existential questions of our time: what does it mean to survive during the war? Is there a "right choice" for a woman caught in this bloody fire? A unique work!
