It was an incredible experience to find myself in the Warsaw of that era, feeling the interplay of diverse cultures coexisting side by side. The story itself is thoroughly absorbing, even if occasionally too brutal for my taste. But evidently, that was how it had to be.
Bella on Lubimyczytać.pl A thoroughly engaging plot and a superbly captured spirit of the era. You can tell the author did rigorous research to recreate 1930s Warsaw so authentically.
Bruhcoli on Lubimyczytać.pl Twardoch once again proves he is in peak form. I was completely captivated by this novel. The turbulent 1930s provide a remarkably compelling backdrop for a story that is gripping and deeply moving. Brilliantly written, intense, and definitely worth reading.
