At that time, she started creating her first stories. When she was twenty, she made a decision to become a writer and started to study creative writing at university. That was a big deal for her. First, she abandoned the village where she had been born and started a new life in the capital, Prague. Second, her family did not want to accept her decision to become a writer.
When she finished university, it was so difficult to find a job as a writer that she changed workplaces many times. She was a shop assistant, waitress, worker for an archaeology company. When she went in 2008 to London, she studied English. In the meanwhile, she published four books in Czech. This is the first book she has written in English.view less
