One Polish Summer
R.J. Skrywer - Literary fiction - Romance - Road trip

She went to Poland to forget. She found something worth remembering.

Ellis Nowak is thirty-four, successful, and quietly falling apart. When a two-year relationship ends in betrayal, she does the only sensible thing: books the first available flight to visit distant family in a small Polish town, tells herself it's just a week away, and tries to breathe.

Poland has other plans.

In a farmhouse on the edge of the countryside, an elderly cousin named Irena has been keeping a secret for forty years. What Ellis uncovers - a bundle of underground letters, a mother's buried history, a woman she thought she knew transformed into someone far more complicated - is not the quiet family visit she expected.

And then a man named Piotr runs after her on a Tuesday morning to return a pale green phone case.

He never quite stops running toward her after that.

What follows is fourteen days neither of them planned: a road trip the length of Poland, from the Sudetes mountains to the amber-lit streets of Gdańsk, through medieval castles and Masurian lakes so still they double the sky. Two people who have both been through enough to know what they want, falling for each other with the specific, helpless certainty of people who recognize something rather than merely desire it.

But Ellis lives in Nashville. Piotr lives in Wroclaw. And even the most perfect fourteen days have a last one.

One Polish Summer is a deeply romantic, beautifully observed novel about the discoveries we make when we stop running - in a country that will take your breath away.

For readers of Elin Hilderbrand, Dolly Alderton, and Emily Henry.
