Miss Nobody

No ratings yet

Translated into no less than sixteen languages, and already made into a film by Palme d'Or-winning director Andrzej Wajda, Miss Nobody is the unforgettable portrayal of a recently displaced adolescent girl - fifteen-year-old Marysia Kawczak - and her experiences with the two young women who befriend her upon her arrival in her new environment. Marysia's coming of age is made all the more poignant by the brilliance with which Tryzna captures her guileless personality and Flat, affectless voice. And it is through Marysia's own narrative that we begin to learn exactly how the veneer of new friendship - where things are not always what they appear to be - and the turmoil of conflicting loyalties force this otherwise ordinary young woman to grow in ways that challenge her very ability to survive.
