One Hundred Miracles

Wendy Holden

Author Wendy Holden talks about her latest book, One Hundred Miracles, the acclaimed memoir of Czech musician and Holocaust survivor Zuzana Ruzickova. Describing working with her in Prague shortly before her death, aged 90, in 2017 Wendy paints a vivid picture of a tiny, twinkly-eyed woman who chain-smoked as she recounted her remarkable life story. Published by Bloomsbury in the UK and in seven other countries soon, this is a biography like no other - one that encompasses the horrors of war, a passion for music and especially Bach, the persecution of Communism and the sustaining quality of love.
