Description
The literary document by journalist Jana LeBlanc and photographer Patricie Krivanek maps the lives of Czech women who have made their homes in countries other than the one they were born in. Through eleven fictionalized authentic testimonies, it showcases various experiences of living in foreign lands. Each story seeks to break down the prejudices we have about countries or life abroad and to relativize the clichés associated with them. Is everything really possible in the USA, even for a single mother? What if a Muslim woman doesn't have to be a fully veiled woman, but could just as easily be a tattooed girl in a tank top? Can one establish themselves in a foreign country without knowing a single word of the foreign language? Will taking away a child's home, culture, and everything they know during their teenage years ruin their life? The book is an ambitious international project that provides an authentic insight into extraordinary fates and interesting aspects of life in various countries around the globe.
