Learned a lot about Poland’s history. The characters felt very real and their emotions and actions were so relatable.
Eine gefühlvolle Liebeslektüre, die, obwohl man den Ausgang ahnt, tief in den Bann zieht und Emotionen hervorruft, als wären es die Eigenen.
Es sind die kleine Sätze, die fast keine Handlungsinformation tragen, aber soviel Gefühl auslösen. Jedrowski ist ein Meister darin sie zu finden.
I loved the writing of this book and enjoyed this read very much. It was something I haven’t read before with the setting of communist Poland in the 1980s. Through the book one could, to some small extent, understand what people were going through such as poverty etc. For me it was also very informative and interesting with the included historic elements through which I learned more about the historic background. I loved that the protagonists characters and worldviews were opposite with Ludwik representing the modern and open view and Janusz supporting the communist worldview, which showed that because of these views there couldn’t have been a happy ending as they wanted different things in life. I think the narrative of Ludwiks perspective was very fitting and the flashbacks of his prior life and childhood through which you could understand the actions and thoughts of Ludwik. There were many beautifully written parallels and comparisons which underlined the emotions and feelings.
Tragische love Story und sehr politisch, was ich toll fand!
The writing style was really beautiful and i read through this in nearly one go once i got into it. The story was not too surprising or new though and i was pretty sure from the beginning how it would go (and end), but i still enjoyed the emotions and feelings in this book.
„Because you were right when you said that people can’t always give us what we want from them; that you can’t ask them to love you the way you want. No one can be blamed for that. And the odds had been stacked against us from the start: we had no manual, no one to show us the way. Not one example of a happy couple made up of boys. How were we supposed to know what to do? Did we even believe that we deserved to get away with happiness?“ Do I have to say more ?
