Content

Petra Hulova became an overnight sensation when “All This Belongs to Me” was originally published in Czech in 2002, when the author was just twenty-three years old.

The novel comprises the strong voices of five women from three generations of a Mongolian family. Essentially it is a powerful story of roots and tradition, female strengths and weaknesses, personal tragedy and loss. Both rural and town life (Ulan Bator) feature prominently as a backdrop to the narrative.

Multiple voices make for an interesting read – whether town or country, the feel of Mongolia seems to be palpable.
