Cheeky lazy incompetent

Tereza would like to be not only a model daughter, but also a perfect lover, and ultimately a flawless wife and mother. Just the way her inner circle imagines it. But she's known since she was a kid that she's going to have a hard time. Especially since she prefers to climb trees, she avoids skirts, her legs don't fit into pumps and none of the guys who hang around her will ever compare to Ludvík Vaculik. And she really tries - she bakes, struggles with knitting needles, tries on lipstick or a skirt, sometimes even shoes with heels. And it's still not enough. The voices of the women of her clan do not let up with their demands and continue to sit at her throat. The solution comes unexpectedly - they give birth to sons and the previously strong bonds of grandmothers, mothers and daughters begin to break. In Tereza Límanová's witty, brisk, autobiographical prose there is not only every imperfect daughter, lover, wife or mother. < br> The cheeky lazy incompetent is accompanied by author's illustrations and photographs from the author's archive. < br> < br> PRAISE THE HOUSE: < br> < br> " Little House is a reminiscent and reflective book about a childhood lived in the Prague suburbs, about the fact that this age is a guarantor of indulgence, both kind and insightful in its naivety. Tereza Límanová managed to capture the atmosphere perfectly. He doesn't judge her, he describes. His empathy makes it sympathetic and appealing. That is why it is tempting to "enter" her Little House and read. " Milena M. Marešová, ČRo Vltava< br> < br> " Reading engages all the senses - so beautifully described are the crashes of falling pears in the garden, the striking of the clock, the serepettes in the chief doctor's office, the paintings on the walls and my father's letters from Kuwait. We know all the tastes, the sounds, the colours of the life of a small perceptive child during totalitarianism, we have experienced it all.
