«Viou» is the young-adult novel by Henri Troyat, published by Pere Castor in paperback (256 pages, in French).
After the war, Viou lives with her paternal grandparents while her mother tries to rebuild her life in Paris; for the girl, that separation weighs more than her father's death. Although surrounded by affection, she is not happy in that austere house, nor does it calm her need to love. Returning to her mother begins a new phase and leaves a sensitive portrait of childhood.
First instalment of the Viou trilogy, with illustrations by Marie Gard; part of the Castor Poche collection (no. 93).
For child and young-adult readers, especially those who enjoy realistic stories about family life and emotions.
Henri Troyat was a Russian-French writer, biographer, historian, and novelist.
