My Story

About The Author

I'm an Albanian-Dutch novelist based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In my books, I focus not only on women's lives but also on the interconnectedness of different cultures which transcends borders and mentalities.
As a former journalist, I deeply believe in the impact of words, both in literature and in everyday life. Alongside my work as a librarian in Rotterdam, I support non-native speakers in gaining confidence in English and Dutch and in finding their way in a new culture. I speak Albanian, English, Dutch and Italian.

Reviews

'On the Other Side by Teuta Metra follows not only Rita's physical journey from her home country of Albania to London but also her emotional journey as she learns about love, loss, and betrayal.'

'I loved how this story was told on so many different levels, the harshness of Rita's life, and the courage and ingenuity she shows in the face of adversity.'
