A richly evocative and moving portrait of an ordinary Polish Jewish family in the years preceding the Second World War.

Though he returned from America penniless, Nathan Stramer still daydreams of a better life. Raising six children with his wife Rywka in a poor area of Tarnow, he chases hare-brained schemes to make money while she fantasises about a trip to the seaside.

Meanwhile, their children are taking steps out into a changing world. Rudek, the eldest, sets his passions aside for a practical job; Rena falls in love with a married man, and Hesio and Salek get ever more involved with Communism.

While Nathan and Rywka try to hold the centre of their raucous family life, national conflicts begin to escalate, and something sinister creeps into the Stramers' world that they don't yet understand.

Industry Reviews

'A great, compelling, and beautiful tale of a family, of the bonds that tie brothers and sisters, of support in every circumstance, no matter how complex... The Stramer family and their town of Tarnow are painted so vividly that it seems Miko?aj ?ozi?ski has been given the divine talent of time travel' - Vogue

'Outstanding... This is the kind of book people wait to find: wise and brilliantly written... ?ozi?ski has not written a novel about the Holocaust, but about the life that came before it' - Newsweek

'Miko?aj ?ozi?ski shows that ordinary people's lives can be as fascinating as a sensational story. A brilliantly written novel!' - Olga Tokarczuk, author of Flights
