A poet's memoir of his mother that flows backwards through time,
through a tumultuous period of European history - a tender and yet
unsparing autobiographical journey. **A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK**
"A truly remarkable book . . . fiercely compelling" EDMUND DE WAAL
*WINNER OF THE JAMES TAIT BLACK MEMORIAL PRIZE* *SHORTLISTED FOR
THE JEWISH WINGATE PRIZE* "I've read no memoir that moved me more"
MIRANDA SEYMOUR "The writing is always scrupulous . . . [a]
compelling memoir" BLAKE MORRISON "Beautifully written and utterly
compelling" Sunday Times "An original, probingly thoughtful memoir"
EVA HOFFMANN In July 1975, Magda Szirtes died in the ambulance on
the way to hospital after she had tried to take her own life. She
was fifty-one years old. The Photographer at Sixteen spools into
the past, through her exile in England, her flight with her husband
and two young boys from Hungary in 1956 and her time in two
concentration camps, her girlhood as an ambitious photographer, and
the unknowable fate of her vanished family in Transylvania. The
woman who emerges - with all her contradictions - is utterly
captivating. What were the terrors and obsessions that drove her?
The Photographer at Sixteen reveals a life from the depths of its
final days to the comparable safety of its childhood. It is a book
born of curiosity, of guilt and of love.
