内容简介On the eve of World War II, in a place called Half-Village, a young man nicknamed the Pigeon falls in love with a girl fabled for her angelic looks. To court Anielica Hetmanska he offers up his "golden hands" to transform her family's modest hut into a beautiful home, thereby building his way into her heart.Then war arrives to cut short their courtship, delay their marriage, and wreak havoc in all their lives, even sending the young lovers far from home, to the promise of a new life in Krakow.Nearly fifty years later, their granddaughter, Beata, repeats their postwar journey, seeking a new life in the fairy-tale city of her grandmother's stories. But when she arrives in Krakow, instead of the whispered prosperity of the New Poland, she discovers a city caught between its future and its past.Whimsical, wise, beautiful, magical, and at times heartbreaking, "A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True" weaves together two remarkable stories, reimagining half a century of Polish history through the legacy of one unforgettable love affair.
媒体推荐From an original new voice in fiction comes this warm-hearted debut. Pasulka reimagines half a century of Polish history through the legacy of one couple's profound love affair.
