The lives of Erika and Agnes carry readers through the unsettled history of Silesian families.

Agnieszka Głębicka's family perspective makes regional history a matter of language, affiliation and intimate choices. Choose this for readers interested in identities that resist a simple label. The attraction is the opportunity to follow what large historical changes mean within relationships rather than only across a political map.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For readers drawn to character, language and the tensions within ordinary lives.
