The Wedding's Season

Recollection of youthful, romantic and passionate love, which never turned into stable relationship; tragically ended marriage, and other personal and family problems; very difficult, often controversial life of a talented actress under communism in Poland, described day in day out, and which almost parenthetically covering the last twenty years of the regime; and the clandestine activities of opposition against the communism; are the few threads of this multidimensional novel.

The contemporary dimension of the novel comprises Polish post-communism and built up of the new social class called red bourgeoisie and the way the main character is confronted with religious ignorance and intolerance; corruption and frequent appearance of cases of perverse, often duplicitous accusations of collaboration with the ex communist security system, aiming as an embarrassing argument in political and private matters; and often instrumental as a blackmail. There are other, political, moral and social overtones, too.
