ReviewsKarpowicz 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 clichs in an intelligent and refined manner.-Polish Book Institute, 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, He's proven that he's an extraordinarily multifaceted writer, one who handles various styles brilliantly.-Robert Ostaszewski

SynopsisSonka is the story of an old woman, lonely, forgotten, and shunned by her community, until one day a theater director's car breaks down near her house, and an unexpected guest supplies her with the chance to tell her story. And so unfolds her tale of love between an SS officer and a local girl against the backdrop of the Second World War. Everyday chores are threaded with executions, stolen moments in between episodes of abuse, lies are thoughtlessly uttered only to change the worlds and lives of two families forever.
