The Last Mazurka by Andrew Tarnowski
Presents a tale of love and passion, warring families, jealousy, violence, hidden secrets and betrayal, all set against the back drop of the Great War and the Second World War, with snowy landscapes, wolf hunts, grand lords and a healthy splash of vodka.
'I read it from beginning to end with admirationIt is rich, well-organized and stoical. Everything in it is finely judged. It deserves to find many readers.' V. S. Naipaul 'This sensitive memoir is one man's act of solidarity with his people: past, present and to come...[a] splendid portrait' Sunday Times 'This is he best way into history - real flesh and blood struggling to live and to love in their collapsing world of war and exile. And written with exquisite precision.' Norman Davies 'It makes one wish one could have met the characters in the flesh... a fascinating history and a moving personal memoir.' Piers Paul Read
