<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is the story--a love story of epic dimensions--of Sugar, a cat with a keen wit and a reflective nature, and his human, Madamigella, a writer with a frenetic and impossibly dispersive life. In this, his seventh life, Sugar has countless stories to tell and a remarkable talent for telling them. But his real area of expertise lies in his preternatural ability to domesticate his humans.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An "enthralling" novel of growing up amid the terrors of World War II that offers "a superb lesson in resilience and the importance of imagination" (<i>La Presse</i>).</b> <p/>Julek has assumed countless identities, lived with numerous families, and worked as a secret agent for the Resistance. He was raised in an orphanage (despite having two mothers) and he knows how to speak the language of dogs. All this at the tender age of fourteen!<br>Julek's story begins in Warsaw on the eve of World War II and ends in Paris after the city's triumphant liberation. We witness the darkest hours of the past century and the effects of war through the eyes of an extraordinary boy who never loses his sense of wonder. Julek's adventure becomes an incredible lesson in survival and a testament to the power of a child's heart.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for <b><i>Seven Lives And One Great Love: Memoirs of a Cat <p/></i></b>"A book that will move you and make you laugh."<i><br></i>--Silvana Mazzocchi, <i> La Repubblica <p/></i> "Cat-lovers had better not miss <i>Seven Lives and One Great Love</i>.
