A great book. If any of you have read any of his books or know his style then you are aware how he weaves real history into a novel. Poland is no different. It starts about the time that Poland was breaking loose of the Soviet grip and then takes 3 families back well over a thousand years (if I remember) and brigs it all back to the current time (as of the time the book was written.) It will give you a great sense of what Poland went through, the Church, the politics, the social structure and more. An easy way to get some history on Poland. It was an eye opener for me..
