Sonka by Ignacy Karpowicz
Against the backdrop of the Second World War, an old woman tells the story of a love affair between an SS officer and a local girl. Everyday tasks are interrupted by executions, and lies, thoughtlessly told, change the worlds and lives of two families forever.
He’s proven that he’s an extraordinarily multifaceted writer, one who handles various styles brilliantly-Robert Ostaszewski
Karpowicz is a refined stylist, who skillfully uses the grotesque, irony and humor (unconventional, disarming, often black) to tackle stereotypical ways of thinking about reality. He makes light of patriotic and religious clichés in an intelligent and refined manner. –Polish Book Institute
