My mother was a prostitute. My grandmother and great-grandmother
were prostitutes. Maybe I should have given the family business a
chance... BBC RADIO 4 PICK OF THE WEEK, Katie Puckrik 'Eliska's
story is an extraordinary and powerful read. It's the ultimate book
about survival and an against-all-odds fight to make it in life.
Highly recommend.' Clover Stroud 'A scintillating, devastating
memoir, and a fiercely witty and unabashed tribute to the toughness
of the human spirit.' Damian Le Bas
__________________________________________________ To westerners,
being Gypsy means being wild, romantic and free. To Eliska Tanzer,
it means being rented out to dance for older men. It means living
without running water. It means not being allowed a job or an
education. It means being stuffed into a bare room with all your
aunts and cousins, fighting over the thin, stained blanket the way
you fight over the last piece of half-mouldy bread. It means
joining the family prostitution ring when you're still a child. But
Eliska was given a way out. Slung out of Hoe School and shipped to
England in a washing machine box, she thought she had made it. But
her dream soon turned into a nightmare. A moving and timely memoir
from a powerful new voice in literature.
