Jan Labendowicz refuses to help a German woman fleeing Poland in the mid-1940s, and she curses him. Soon a son is born to Jan: a boy with snow-white skin and equally white hair. Meanwhile, the other parents' lives are changed by the explosion of a grenade left over from the war. And soon the stories of two families are forever linked when a girl maimed in a fire and an albino who sees a river of the dead meet. Thus begins "Shiver", a sweeping saga spanning almost the entire 20th century, from the late 1930s to the mid-2000s, which reflects the entire history of Eastern Europe in recent decades, and the eternal questions of life and death are intertwined with hard realism, poignant lyricism, psychological thriller and dark mysticism. Thus begins a novel that has become one of the most resounding discoveries of Polish literature in recent years.
