The Bronski House by Philip Marsden

The Bronski House by Philip Marsden

A remarkable, multifaceted story made up of journal accounts, memories, conversations and personal experience, The Bronski House is a paean to Poland, a landmark in travel writing, and a family history tied together by the unique experience of returning from exile.

‘An odd but splendidly imagined fish, part novel, part reverieMarsden has a dazzling gift for poetic evocation – and for reminding us that Britain is not an island.’
John Fowles, Spectator

‘An extraordinary, multi-faceted narrative. From diaries and memories it recreates the true story of two polish women – mother and daughter – amid the destruction of a whole culture’
Colin Thubron, Daily Telegraph

‘He is an exquisite writer, with the elegant style, light historical touch and detachment of a storyteller … incandescent … the best travel writing I have read on Poland.’ Simon Sebag Montefiore, Sunday Times

‘A tragic, uplifting elegy to a remarkable family. Philip Marsden's work will invigorate travel literature by helping to propel it over the boundary into unexplored territory.’
Rory Maclean, Times Literary Supplement
