November 30, 2006. Carolina, a Pole who lives permanently in Belgium, ending the day 30 years ago. Atypically spends his birthday - on the way to Brussels with the Polish. On the route E40, a few hours make her own life. Life is difficult and dramatic - migration, unplanned pregnancy, marriage with much older Belgian, John Malki (a descendant of a Polish soldier), a difficult relationship with the mother, her husband's depression ... But (as rightly pointed out Enga ), her problems are not involved. And this happens because they do not involve the same character.
He spins his tale in a way so distant, as if telling a third party. For a moment I suspected (wrongly) that it can lead your relationship already posthumous perspective, looking at our vale of tears with the mountains. We therefore
story of a woman who is not addictive and is not involved. What thus far in this book, and what was written?
clues provided me with reliable blurb (with a very brief opinion of the SCORPION).
So we have the first clue - a route E-40, in more civilized surroundings, even adopting the form of highways, " longest road in Europe, the east-west route extends from the Kazakh-Chinese border to the English Channel [1]."
This route often traveled by Carolina, father in law built it - Joseph Malek, another important figure in the book-filled life of Polish engineer, soldier, General Maczek, crushed by his bourgeois, a Belgian wife.
It combines the East and West. This direction east also think an important trop. Belarusian Igor comes from there, the great fascination of California (through which przypomnała himself a " world, which in Poland is no longer " [2]), also a citizen of Kazakhstan (the starting point E-40) - Vika, a woman with a heart so big, as possible in the East.
East also has the same roots, Carol and her husband. You could say that in the history of their families, Poland was only an episode, the next stop on the journey of generations of peoples road E-40 to the West.
Also from the East comes to anything worthwhile.
vibrant Joseph Malek, Igor charismatic, altruistic Vika ...
Poland was able to give the world just bland Carolina, which is not able not only to become the second Anna Karenina, but I can not even engage in their own lives.
I know that my interpretation is risky. But I had this book a big problem. It's very good technically, the author finally honed in the renowned workshop of the weekly reviews. Not really but I'm sure to write a book and its message.
It's probably the opposite situation than in Magdalene Kordel, where despite the technical shortcomings of the book struck a positive energy. After all - unless the will of such a variant.
