Welcome to Litsy!

This is not a book about Donald Trump, nor is it a book about Melania and Donald Trump; this is a book about Melanija Knavs, the shy and skinny girl from Slovenia, a country most Americans, if they've ever heard of it at all, think is part of Russia. Even if they have heard of it, they have probably never heard of Sevnica, the small town Melanija calls - or at least used to call - home. Nonetheless, this Slovenian, this Sevnica native could, as wife to the, at least on paper, most powerful politician in the world - the President of the United States of America, become First Lady. Her story is full of coincidences and aligned stars, the product of a web of incredible, even spectacularly fantastic circumstances. Mitja Cander, author, poet, and head of the Slovenian publishing house Beletrina: "This is the story of a woman who is reborn; she changes her name, language, homeland, lifestyle, and even her body is different. The only thing that has stayed the same is her ambition. To be someone. To be the First Lady of the World." American The New Yorker magazine and the Italian Vanity Fair magazine: "The most thorough biographical account on the life ob Melania Trump."
