My mother’s side of the family are Romani. Gypsies. No baby-snatching and tambourines, just resilient souls and richly coloured skin. I look most like them, with my brown eyes and scars. I don’t have the richly coloured skin, though. Instead of deep bronze or golden ochre, I came out the colour of sunflower oil and, thanks to childhood malnutrition followed by years of low iron levels, I’m now the shade of an off-brand Simpson.’ ELISKA TANZER is a writer and a dancer, not always at the same time. She completed a degree in creative writing at the University of Wolverhampton. This is her first book. She spends her time in the Midlands with an uncomfortably large collection of notebooks and sequins. That this young woman, who didn't learn to read and write until she was in her teens, was able to write this book is a testament to her determination in the face of desperation. písania mi neskutočne sadol. Nenudila som sa pri čítaní (ako pri iných takýchto knihách), malo to dynamiku a autorka sa vždy zameriala na to podstatné. Hoci sem tam skončila v deji do minulosti, vždy to malo logiku a dokázala vo mne vyvolat rôzne emócie. Aj vám knihy, ktoré opisujú skutočný príbeh, naháňajú husiu kožu? Minimálne pri knihe Vyrástla som v gete som to tak mala. Brutálna, otvorená spoveď Elišky, ktorá vyrastala nie práve v ideálnych podmienkach. Nedostala materinskú lásku, pohodlný domov a niečo pre nás samozrejmé - vzdelanie.History Makers: Female Writers Dominate the 2023 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award Shortlist

Außen: verschmutzt. 36778468/3 Altersfreigabe FSK ab 0 Jahre Taschenbuch, Größe: 19.8 x 2.8 x 12.9 cm. This is her story. A true story of resilience, determination, and hunger to learn. A story of a girl on the brink. Aké možnosti asi malo dievča, ktoré sa narodilo a žilo v gete, v rodine, kde sa dedí najstaršie remeslo a začína sa s ním skoro, matke, čo ju počala ako trinásťročná? S mužom, ktorý síce opovrhoval inými rasami, ale keď išlo o telesné radovánky, zjavne sa dokázal prekonať. Prekvapujúco sa nejaká tá náklonnosť ušla aj dcére, hoci veľmi obmedzená a nejasná. Aj toto bola jedna z tých “šťastnejších” okolností, vďaka ktorým sa z Elišky nikdy nestala prostitútka - namiesto toho ju (šokujúcim spôsobom) matka poslala do Veľkej Británie. Aby tam zažila detskú prácu a násilie si ju našlo vtedy, keď to vôbec nečakala.
