The Girl from Nowhere: trafficked by my mother to save my life: A Romani Ghetto Life

Product Information

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. This was one of the first books I choose from NetGalley, and I chose it because the cover seemed interesting. As the deadline approached, I sort of lost interest. Part of it was how obscure it is; this is a book that isn’t even being published in North America (based on the available information). However, I said I would review it, so I made a point to at least try. I am beyond happy that I did. I loved pretty much everything about this book.

Myslela som, že budem mať knihu zaradenú na poličke s Hillbilly Elegy a Vzdelanou, ale bola to väčšia nálož - pomery, z ktorých pochádzala, prostredie, v ktorom vyrastala, veci, ktoré sa jej diali, jej rodičia. A tiež literárny jazyk bol odlišný, autorka svoj temperament nekrotila. A story like this only shows people that stories such as this are not of the past. People are still living in ghettos in places like Slovakia and seeing what the poor have to do to survive I was granted an e-ARC of The Girl From Nowhere by Eliska Tanszer by the publisher Mirror Books on NetGalley to provide a fair and honest review. 4.5/5 starsTo, čím si Eliška musela za svůj krátký život projít, je děsivé. Mám ráda životopisné knihy a tato je zase úplně jiná. 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.

Eliska Tanzer's memoir of her life growing up as one of an outcast people in Slovakia is a stark reminder of how unequal opportunities can be, not only on a global scale but within countries and then towns. Ancestry or skin colour should not be the factors which decide a person's future practically from their birth, but all too often this is still the case and, other than for a quirk of fate, I would never have read Tanzer's searingly honest memoir because she would never have had the opportunity to write it. She quite possibly would not even have been able to write.
