Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

This gripping tale of love and betrayal revolves around the chance meeting of Tadeusz Lipska - an artist who became part of the Polish intellectual underground in the mid-'70s - and Miler, a black-market criminal. Lipska found more than just love in his chosen life as an artist, and this arresting story of deceit, political intrigue and murder movingly conveys a time of paradoxes, national strife, and personal compromise.
