""I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I picked this book up, but I was gripped by the narrative voice from the start and read through it almost in one go. There's a slightly dream-like quality to the writing; the characters and their stories will stay with you."" Kaggsy's Bookish Ramblings ""A casual reading of this book might suggest that it is about nothing much but as we have known at least since the days of Flaubert, there are some very good books about nothing much. This is one of them. [...] Wojasiński has written a work which must surely become a classic of Polish literature."" The Modern Novel
