Publisher's Synopsis
Shortlisted for the 4th Virginia Prize for Fiction - a biennial fiction prize for women writing in English. A poignant historical novel about loss and self-discovery told with compassion and unflinching honesty. Set in 1988 and 2010, and in three countries: Poland, Britain and the US. 1988 saw a massive wave of workers' strikes break out across Poland, which helped pave the way for the collapse of Communism across Eastern Europe over the next few years. Incorporates family reminiscences, as both Ewa Dodd's parents were part of the Solidarity movement in 1980s Poland.
