Description
Are there ghosts in the cellar? What is it like to have ten siblings? Can a Romani girl play handball? A grandmother tells of her difficult journey from a Slovak settlement to a Czech city, while her grandchildren listen in wonder and fragrant plum jam bubbles on the stove. Tender, humorous and sweet as a grandmother’s touch with hands smeared with jam, this Romani-Czech autobiographical debut by Květoslava Podhradská is written for children and their parents. Patricie and Robin spend their summer holidays with their grandmother in Boskovice, a Moravian town, where her garden and dining table become quiet witnesses to stories from a life very different from the one children live today. This book is for young and older readers who want to learn about the past and present lives of the Romani people.
