It is also a story of war, sacrifice, love, friendship, betrayal and loyalty. It’s hard to believe that it is a debut!”, wrote the critic Beata Igielska. The author herself commented on the book: „The time has come to address the experiences that have been destroying our families for decades. The generation of our grandparents has experienced the cruelty of war. Their children, our parents, were still through narration, or worse, the silence of their parents, too close to it, and so they were unable to reckon with the past. „
