Описание:
Ella is born in the 1960s, in Leopoldstadt, once a ghetto in Vienna, but she has no knowledge of her Jewish heritage. Her mother is unwilling to discuss the past and her father, a concentration camp survivor, dies shortly after her birth.
Ella and her neighbour, Luke, are childhood friends with different backgrounds who develop a life - long, loving relationship. When Luke leaves Vienna to complete his studies, a heartbroken Ella marries Richard. Though the marriage is unsatisfying, when Richard is offered a promotion in Australia, she reluctantly joins him with their youngest son. In the outer suburbs of Melbourne, she struggles to find her footing in the dissimilar culture. In her turmoil, she tries to focus on her scattered memories and attempts to weave them together. When she decides to sell the family home in Leopoldstadt, demolishers discover paintings hidden in her father's study. This discovery will shape her future.
After Luke's mother's death, he is horrified to find documents revealing his grandparents' roles as guards in Theresienstadt Concentration Camp - the same camp where Ella's father was imprisoned. During a visit to an Australian university, Ella and Luke meet and he reveals his feelings of guilt and shame. A devastated Ella wonders if their relationship can continue. Luke falls into period of despair, but eventually, he finds solace in the study of Judaism.
As Ella learns about her background her self-assurance grows. She breaks her ties with Richard and then Luke and resolves longstanding difficulties with her sons. She moves on to pass on to her children the heritage that is rightfully theirs.

Описание:
"Humans are easy to control. Soon we cats may domesticate them."
Another funny, heart-warming and insightful novel written in both cats' point of view following their journey in the Catland series.
Bella, a ginger, therapy cat and Oliver, a handsome, Siamese show cat are unique. Not only are they delightfully charming, and at times hilarious, they share their intimate feelings and shrewd observations of their human family, vets, catteries and all that they encounter.
Dawn in Catland is more than an engaging book about cats, and reveals that cats do more than eat, sleep and purr. Bella describes her visits with her counsellor owner to calm and encourage sick and sad people in hospital, while Oliver shares his experiences at cat shows. Bella and Oliver seeks answers to questions important to cats as well as people: what is the purpose of life; why animals and people are cruel and bully each other; the meaning of the word "love", used so often; how to accept others who are different and how to adapt to a climate that seems to continually change.
They are strongly tested, and their cosy lives disrupted, when a new baby arrives followed by a dog. It is through their battles to adapt to both that they understand what love really means.
