'James, you live in a different world...' His wife's comment is only partly true, but James's life as a farmer and a businesman in Gloucestershire is a far cry from the war-torn streets of Warsaw, where he spent his boyhood as Janek Zagorski. This elegant and insightful novel moves with ease from Poland to post-war London and the English countryside, tracing the difficulties James has early in his marriage, his concerns about the English and their apparent lack of 'inner life' and his bravery in making a new start with his wife and daughter. Disaster arrives on his doorstep in Gloucestershire, and further away in Poland, presenting James with his greatest challenge yet. He responds with action, helped by a wonderful circle of friends and by something bigger than the concept of Polishness and English - something bigger than life itself. Read 'Janek's Way', and discover what this miracle ingredient is.
