There is nothing she likes better than to tell stories of her fascinating past - of her grandfather, the legendary owner of the first car in Ukraine; of her aristocratic mother; and not least of herself. Her most avid listener is her grandson, Jacek, to whom she is extremely close. As she grows older and becomes increasingly confused, her tales become more repetitive and Jacek often finds himself filling in the gaps. Based on the life of the author's grandmother, intertwining detailed historical research with enthralling family accounts, Lala's story stretches from Kiev in 1875 to modern-day Poland, spanning the First and Second World Wars, the German occupation, the revolution and the republic."--Publisher's description. 546 $a Translated to English from the Polish. 586 $a Winner, Paszport Polityki Award 650 0 $a Grandmothers $z Poland $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Poland $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Grandmothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00946353 651 7 $a Poland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206891 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Lloyd-Jones, Antonia, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909051359.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212024516.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ED764B1EE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
