Tamro
 Size: 130x195 mm Number of pages: 107 Paperback |
Tamro, an old vagabond woman, with heavy make-up and a constant smile on her face; she is an indivisible part of the history of local town. Everybody
knows her. This heartbreaking and warm story of poverty and pride is based on a true story and is dedicated to this picturesque character, who author knew personally. A woman, who was a great beauty somehow ended up as a beggar, but not a typical one – hiding saddest stories behind her simple and warm smile. Tamro takes care of her blind handicapped brother, because of his sensitivity she cannot let him realize difficulties she faces. Instead, she builds illusions of happy and careless life to keep brother happy. Pushing her limits, she makes impossible happen, literally impossible. Read an extract... |
