  <about><![CDATA[Czech writer. She studied culturology at Charles University in Prague's Faculty of Philosophy and Arts.<br/><br/>Hůlová rapidly rose to popularity in 2002 through the publication of her novel <em>In Memory of my Grandmother</em>, which became one of the most widely-read Czech books of the decade. She is fluent in the Mongolian language. She stated that the novel, which is told from the point of five female narrators belonging to three generations of the same family, is actually based more on Czech people she knows and on Czech life, rather than her experiences in Mongolia. She chose to set the novel in Mongolia to avoid the necessity of writing about &quot;artificial phenomena&quot;. The novel won the Magnesia Litera Prize in the category Newcomer of the Year, and was voted Book of the year by daily Lidové noviny. Her stay in the United States inspired her third book Circus Les Mémoires.[5] By age 27, she had already published four novels.]]></about>

    <![CDATA[Petra Hulova became an overnight sensation when &quot;All This Belongs to Me&quot; was originally published in Czech in 2002, when the author was just twenty-three years old. She has since established herself as one of the most exciting young novelists in Europe today. &quot;Writings from an Unbound Europe&quot; is proud to publish the first translation of her work in English. &quot;All This Belongs to Me&quot; chronicles the lives of three generations of women in a Mongolian family. Told from the point of view of a mother, three sisters, and the daughter of one of the sisters, this story of secrets and betrayals takes us from the daily rhythms of nomadic life on the steppe to the harsh realities of urban alcoholism and prostitution in the capital, Ulaanbaatar. &quot;All This Belongs to Me&quot; is a sweeping family saga that showcases Hulova's genius.]]>
