Karol and his wife are the rising stars of the Polish community in London but Karol is a ruthless entrepreneur whose fortune is built on the backs of his fellow countrymen. The Kulesza brothers, mentally unstable Igor and his violent brother Damian, dream about returning to Poland one day. A loving couple, Mateusz and Angelika, believe against all odds that good things will happen to people like them. Gradually, all of these lives become dramatically entwined, and each of them will have to decide how far they are willing to go in pursuit of their dreams.

Insightful and unforgiving, Children of Our Age is a deeply human and timely story of Polish immigrants. Sweeping between their past in Poland and their present in Britain, this electrifying novel explores the ways unlikely encounters transform lives, the limits of loyalty, and love.

“Intense”

Whoa! Utterly shocking. This novel is a seriously raw yet compelling story about Poles in London. Characters go through a lot, none of whom I would like to meet in real life. Even the women seemed a bit scary, apart... More

“Timely, unnerving and surprisingly tender novel about human nature”

It is a gritty and relentless read, no doubt about that. I was gripped from the first page. A very topical story about Poles trafficking Poles into the UK.
