A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True par Brigid Pasulka

A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True par Brigid Pasulka

A well woven story that is two stories in one. Just when one story started to get slow for me the other would pick up the pace.

I thought the author did a great job of creating a fairy tale and a modern story and connecting them over the course of the book. The one thing I would change was the over use of polish words. Nearly every paragraph had a polish word in it and while I understand that it lends itself to the story it became a bit much and I skipped over them because I don't speak polish and they were rarely defined after the fact so it added nothing to the story for me.… (plus d'informations)

A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True par Brigid Pasulka

Two wonderful story lines about one family from pre-WWII to post-Soviet independence. If you have the slightest interest in Poland, life during WWII, or life under Soviet occupation and communist rule you'll want to read this book.

A long, long time ago and essentially true par Brigid Pasulka

What a good ride. The untranslated Polish words and phrases are wonderful as well as the translated idioms. The interleaved story of Beata and her grandparents drew me along swiftly and was affecting without being unbearable or so romanticized that it flew away from the war. Happy sigh.
