small Polish village Mala Kacenberg grew up in the comfort of her family. Until the Nazis
arrived. Her village was torn apart. Her family were murdered. And Mala had no one left. Except
she wasn't alone. Her beloved cat Malach remained by her side. They were forced to hide in
the forest. Food was impossible to find. And with German soldiers hunting them at every turn
they were never safe. Alone they would have died. But could they somehow survive together?

the guardian angel who gave her the strength to live. 'A vital document of a history that must
never be allowed to vanish' Julie Orringer for the New York Times 'To read Mala's Cat is to
