Ms Popovic from Sir Arthur Carty Catholic School in London just emailed me some photos from my March visit.
In this photo, I’m reading the scene when Nadia meets Hitler.
Students had lots of great questions about Stolen Child and Making Bombs for Hitler.
These Sir Arthur Carty students are holding up a variety of books, including the Japanese edition of Hope’s War. I’m holding the Korean edition of Silver Threads and the Ukrainian edition of Enough.
The question was “Which book is your favourite of all that you’ve written?” That is such a difficult question. I love them all! Enough holds a special place because it was such a risky book. Back in 2001 when it came out, I was subjected to hate mail and death threats for writing about the Holodomor — the Stalin-instigated starvation of millions — for the crime of being Ukrainian.
