The Lilacs Are Blooming in Warsaw
Capturing the very essence of modern Poland, from the aftermath of WWII to the rise of Solidarity, this is a poignant novel fo three generations of courageous women and the men who loved them: the young wife torn between a wounded husband and a lover who is also his best friend... the teenage girl whose innocence is abruptly shattered...the priest who dares defy a repressive political system...and the child who grows up to strike the most telling blow of all. This is the story of their triumph over unrelenting hardship and bitter betrayals---a saga that captures the passion and pride of one family, and of an entire nation.

I picked up this book randomly from the library as I often do, to stumble on new authors! It was an intresting story line post WW2 in Poland, but some parts I wished I could skip, they seemed to drag...I made myself finish the book because I wanted to know how it ends and because a part of me could never put a book down after being 300 pages through!!!
