About

This book tells an inspiring story of the author who was brought up in Communist Czechoslovakia in the 1980s and follows her transition to the United Kingdom to start a new life of infinite possibilities. As a learner and teacher of English as a second language her experience of adapting to a new culture is shared by so many immigrants arriving in a bewildering new world.

This is a journey in the truest sense not only from one country to another filled with mind-blowing coincidences, and extraordinary discoveries but also from shedding the old assumptions she had about herself and becoming a whole new person in a whole new country.

The Sickle and The Crown is written to empower and inspire through stories about the effects of communism, the tragedy of the holocaust, the discovery of the true identity and the importance of faith, love and forgiveness.

Testimonials

Beata Holeckova is an English teacher and educational entrepreneur who has lived in the UK for the last sixteen years, the last thirteen of those as our next-door neighbour. Her first published work is an engaging and inspiring narrative that chronicles her desire to escape from the constrictive conventions of communist Czechoslovakia and its aftermath into the comparative freedom of first the United States of America and then, more permanently, the United Kingdom. The secrets of family, the succour of religion, the potential for miracles, the importance of truth, the seizing of opportunity, and love, at first sight, are some of the many themes which are developed in this memoire which directly challenges the reader to engage with it.

I couldn’t put the book down until I turned the last page. I know the story is authentic and sincere. I let the power of Beata’s story be exerted on me and that felt good. A reader is invited to join Beata in her quest of finding sense of several events. She chronologically shares her innermost feelings as her life journey unfolds. Beata wholeheartedly wants a reader to benefit from her experience… That’s what true teachers do…. They want their students to excel and be whole…. That’s what Beata’s story is about. – Monika R

An extremely powerful story of a young Slovakian lady, from early childhood days to her life in a new country. A young lady embarks on a journey of self discovery with surprising results. Her love, determined to see the world, sets out for England. As she crosses the country, she connects with several unique personalities whose experience and views deeply impact her own. Part of this experience may have been told before, but never with such freshness, intensity and connectivity. This is Beata ‘s first novel, but she has absolute control of her story and her style. I got the chills so many times towards the end of this book, it completely blew my mind. The unexpected ending and finding out the identity of a scammer is a fitting denouement to an epic and memorable road trip. – Thywill Uche

I hate words like “inspirational” because they’ve become so overdone and cheesy, but I just have to say it – Beata is an inspiration. And yes, I know we present what we want the world to see, but I truly do think The Sickle And The Crown is genuine. We all wear a crown no matter our backgrounds, but you’d have to read this book to realize it. I highly recommend!

A true story with glimpses from past Communist regimes just as we’ve seen in documentaries although with deep information and personal experiences (pictures inclusive). If you’re as interested as I am in understanding that where you are today doesn’t define your chances of where you’d be tomorrow (provided you believe you can make that climb), then this is book you need to read as it clearly illustrates (without living the fun bit out) that coincidences (which ideally we’d see as a negative) play a positive role in revealing the extent of our potentials. You can’t afford to skip this. A well-articulated book. What a read!!! – E. Asuamah
