The action of Elena Katishonok's new family saga begins in a city familiar to the author, from where it stretches to different corners of the world. New World - a new century - and the attempts of the heroes to find their place here. In the family, each tackles this task, confined in his loneliness. One is immersed in work, the other in the past; emigration not only unites but also separates. When people part, only true friendships are preserved and cherished. Jan Bogorad tries to "find himself without losing himself" in a new country. He comes to visit a new friend and finds ... his destiny. The meeting could have taken place fifteen years ago, but ahead - the rest of his life, the happiness of today. The love story of "these 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 Armia Krajowa. The life paths of the heroes cross bizarrely and unexpectedly, the old generation leaves and the new one appears. Our common historical memory depends on whether the connection between them can be preserved.
