Description
Set against the backdrop of 1980s Poland, Swimming in the Dark is a poignant and beautiful novel about first love and survival. When Ludwik is sent to an agricultural camp, he meets Janusz, and together they spend a dreamlike summer falling in love. But as the summer ends, the harsh realities of life under the Party force them to confront their choices and decide how they will survive.
With its affecting and unusual romance, this novel radiates sensuality, humour, and human truths. A remarkable and utterly new tale, Swimming in the Dark is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a story that will resonate with them.
