Olga Andreeva-Karound (b. 1930)-artist, journalist, translator. The granddaughter of the writer Leonid Andreev, the daughter of Vadim Andreev and the niece of the author of the mystical composition of the “Rosa of the World” philosopher Daniil Andreev.
September 1, 1939. Nine -year -old Olya with her mother and little brother comes to rest on the island of Oleron, not far from the Atlantic coast of France. In the village of Saint-Denis in the north of Oleron, Andreev will spend five years. They will survive the defeat of France and the arrival of the Germans, will read Russian poems by heart in the light of an oil lamp and arrange masquerades. Risking freedom and life, listen to Radio London and Moscow at night and participate in the resistance movement. In January 1945, the Germans would send from Oleron to the continent of all who do not need them. Andreevs will be in free France, but before that they will have to transfer many more tests.
Going from a leisurely narrative about the history of the emigrant family and morals of the patriarchal French village to the action-packed interchange, Olga Andreev-Karound writes his memoirs as an exciting novel.
