An unconventional romance, written in English by its Polish author, which examines the inflamed (and inflammatory) relationship between a pair of Polish ‚migr‚s who plan a life together in America as they correspond--then, once they're together, find that neither is quite what was imagined. Teddy, who narrates, isn't the provider Rosie had anticipated; nor is she the politically committed revolutionary he'd fantasized about. They're a fine mismatched couple, and the earthy, raucous tale of their uncommon combination is a real charmer.
