Thought provoking novel on communist Poland
This book is about an English woman going to visit her sister and family in poland in the 1960's. Tuohy shows Poland and its people in both a positive and negative light- hope and desperation are both visible under communism. If you want to understand how Poland was in the 1960's this is a very interesting book to read. The plot of an inheritance is never very engaging- instead the reader is drawn to the characters that populate the novel.
A good read that sometimes is too gloomy for its own good and which lacks an adequate storyline, though insightful in its setting.
