Country Roads

Joanna Chmielewska is the real “queen” of the ironic detective: this genre became popular in Russia thanks to her and influenced a whole galaxy of modern writers. Readers loved her books for their humor, ease, and life-giving atmosphere—being with pan Joanna and her characters you want to be friends. But her smart and subtle novels stand far above simple “humorous literature.” They are full of love and interest in life, zest and curiosity, and they invariably lift your mood even on the gloomiest day. This time pan Joanna’s restless family heads off on a trip along the tangled country roads of Poland. From the very start, something downright fiendish happens around the travelers: unknown people try to steal either their belongings—or even them. Trying to make sense of what’s going on, Joanna plunges into the depths of family history, and help comes in the form of a wonderful blond man… This adventurous road novel will surely make you laugh, because Chmielewska’s books are the best remedy for a good mood!
