The drawing-room was entirely English. The Office of Works had provided deep armchairs, a sofa you could have slept on, though of course nobody had ever done so, and a low glass-topped table.
A young English woman arrives in the Polish People's Republic to visit her older sister, who married a Polish soldier after the war, disappearing into a life behind the Iron Curtain. This award-winning novel of the harsh cruelties and deprivations of life in Communist Poland is told with truth, wit and understanding.
John Francis Tuohy (1925-1999) was a novelist and short story writer. After studying Moral Sciences and English at Cambridge, he worked for the British Council in a number of academic posts abroad, including Krakow, Poland. The Ice Saints, his third novel, won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize and James Tait Black Prize.
