Book Reviews of Poland
Book Review: an epic novel about Poland
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book " cover to cover" after buying it at Warsaw Airpot. It covers the history of Poland throught the lives of successive generations of 3 families, the aristocatic Lubonskis, the Bukowski's (gentry) and the peasant Buk clans. The book spans era's from the Mongol invasions through to the Solidarity movement in the 1980's.
The book is a great epic, describing Poland throughout the ages. I am maried to a Pole, and Micheners stories reinforced my view of the Polish people, albeit rather simplistically. A good book to get an overview of Poland and its history.
