"A truly remarkable book . . . fiercely compelling" EDMUND DE WAAL
"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 "Full of
warmth, grief, curiosity, wisdom . . . highly original" New
European "An exquisitely told memoir" Spectator "Beautiful,
devastating" The Arts Desk A poet's memoir of his mother that flows
backwards through time, and through a tumultuous period of European
history - a tender and yet unsparing autobiographical journey. 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.
