Her story is inspiring because it is one of persistence. What’s more, she recognizes her way to a better life is by learning. Learning and proving she is more than so many people would have her be. That was a feeling I could relate to. I don’t mean to suggest people think little of me or that my life is the same as hers, but my love of learning is, in a way, me trying to move up the societal ladder. I really connected to and enjoyed that aspect of the story. I recommend this memoir. 4.5/5 stars Condition: Gut. 0 Gebrauchs- und Lagerspuren.

Drobné mínus pre mňa bolo, že som sa občas ťažšie orientovala v menách a dátumoch, zahmlené pre mňa ostali podrobnosti obchodu s ľuďmi, Eliška ukazuje veci zo svojho pohľadu, nie to, čo stálo v pozadí, ale niektoré okolnosti sa mi ťažko chápali bez podrobnejšieho vysvetlenia. Neverím, že väčšina Slovákov sú rasisti, skrátka nevedia, ako Cigáni žijú. Vzhľadom na prenasledovanie, ktorému sme čelili, môžeme pôsobiť ako veľmi uzavretá komunita. Je načase pokúsiť sa prelomiť túto bariéru a dať šancu ďalšej generácii cigánskych detí,“ povedala v rozhovore. Pravda surová ako život There are parts where I cringed at how Tanszer would minimize or explain away the terrible things her parents did to her. In the end, I got the impression she was articulating her feelings at the time because by the end of the story we have a very good picture of her relationship with them. I really appreciated how she articulated the complexities of her relationship with her family. It is so toxic, but she seems to always hold out hope that they truly care. Condition: Very Good. Used book that is in excellent condition. May show signs of wear or have minor defects.

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. V istom momente som sa zamyslela nad tým, či táto kniha nie je príliš pokroková na Slovensko. Či sú Slováci pripravení na také zrkadlo (aspoň čo sa týka prvej polovice a doslovu). Áno, samozrejme, už prešiel nejaký ten čas a nemôžeme všetkých súdiť rovnako. Ale Rómovia sú stále citlivá téma pre niektorých Slovákov.I feel like I've been to those slums where she lived, she really has the power to bring places and people to life.

The Girl from Nowhere by Eliska Tanzer | Goodreads

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. Kniha zobrazuje generačnú chudobu a problémy s ňou spojené, opisuje to všetko do šialených detailov a prináša príbeh silnej osobnosti, ktorej sa z nej podarilo vymaniť. Myslím, že každý si príde na svoje v tejto knihe. Je to taký dobrý mix, kde isté momenty vás chytia za srdce, rozosmejú, potešia, inšpirujú, ale aj rozosmútia. A možno vám tento príbeh aj otvorí oči. With any autobiographical tale from a seemingly pseudonymous author, the question arises: is any of this actually real? Literary hoaxes are not an uncommon occurrence in the realm of memoir and in internetland we now have the act of catfishing too.But Eliska is given a way out after her mother scrapes together the money to smuggle her out of the country to a new life. Arriving in England in a washing-machine box, she thinks she has made it. But as a young girl alone in a new country, Eliska soon sees her dream turn into a nightmare when she is forced to live and work under unbearable abuse as she tries to forge her way alone. Every accomplishment and achievement Eliska was able to achieve is something to be proud of because despite the horrors she suffered, she worked hard to earn her degree and to learn to live a better life.
