Ivanka Devátá's books have been making us laugh and moving us for decades. Now, in a book-length interview, she answers questions she has never been asked before, opens up topics that are 'not talked about', and pulls previously unpublished photographs from her family archive. Including from all three of her weddings. For her loyal readers, she has prepared a distinctive generational confession from a woman known for her ability to always look on the bright side of life.
Ivanka Devátá has published more than twenty of her books with the Motto publishing house. You can find them on the publisher's website.
Ivanka Devátá was born on 27 November 1935. She spent her childhood in Brno, and in 1950 she moved with her parents to Pilsen.
