drama series starring Maisie Williams as Catherine Dior, in a role
inspired by Justine Picardie's Miss Dior, has been announced for 14
February 2024*'Exceptional . .. Miss Dior is so much more than a
biography. It's about how necessity can drive people to either
terrible deeds or acts of great courage, and how beauty can grow
from the worst kinds of horror.'DAILY TELEGRAPHMiss Dior explores
the relationship between the visionary designer Christian Dior and
his beloved younger sister Catherine, who inspired his most famous
perfume and shaped his vision of femininity.Justine Picardie's
journey takes her to wartime Paris, where Christian honed his

Resistance and the battle against the Nazis, until she was captured
by the Gestapo and deported to the German concentration camp of
RavensbrA1ck. Tracing the wartime paths of the Dior siblings leads
Picardie deep into other hidden histories, and different forms of
resistance and sisterhood. She discovers what it means to believe
in beauty and hope, despite our knowledge of darkness and despair,
and reveals the timeless solace of the natural world in the
aftermath of devastation and destruction.*A beautiful, full colour

.Picardie uses her investigative reporting skills . . .the result
is Netflix-worthy and the pace page-turning . . .Catherine's story
shines - the quiet Dior who preferred flowers to fashion, the
unsung heroine who survived the abuse of the Third Reich to help
liberate France.'SUNDAY TIMES
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
