The action of the new family saga of Elena Katishonok begins in the city familiar to the author, from where it extends to different parts of the world. The New World - a new century - and the heroes' attempts to find their place here. In a family, everyone solves this problem, locked in their own loneliness. One is immersed in work, the other in the past; emigration not only unites, but also divides. When people break up, only genuine friendships are preserved and carefully maintained. Jan Bogorad in a new country tries to “find himself without losing himself.” He comes to visit a new friend and finds... his destiny. The meeting could have taken place fifteen years ago, but the rest of my life lies ahead, the happiness of today. The love story of “the two” – and the crushing power of a mother’s love; our days and the past; today's wars and the Second World War through the eyes of a concentration camp prisoner and an officer of the Polish Home Army. The life paths of the heroes intersect in a whimsical and unexpected way, the old generation passes away and a new one appears. Our common historical memory also depends on whether it is possible to maintain the connection between them.
