Co za historia! Muszę się dowiedzieć, jak to się ma do faktów, bo chyba to nie jest fikcja?
Przełknąłem przemilczenia polityczne tej historii, bo i nie o polityce, ale o ludziach jest to opowieść. A tak niewiarygodna, że aż dech zapiera.

Już nie pamiętam, ile razy to czytałam. Zawsze ciekawe, chociaż w niektóre sielankowe momenty trudno uwierzyć.

Piękna historia , pozostaje w głowie. Trudne odczłowieczenie czasy , ludzkie uczucia i otwarty koniec na dopowiedzenie historii.
