"Connected by summers spent together as teenagers in Poland, Anna, Kamila, and Justyna grew up separated by distance but have nevertheless maintained an intense and supportive but sometimes challenging friendship. Anna, who moved to the U.S. as a child, is a struggling actress in an unhappy relationship in Brooklyn; Kamila, recently separated, lives in a Polish enclave in Michigan; Justyna is the only one of the three still living in Poland. This zesty tale of their friendship, the debut novel of a Polish-American actress, jumps back and forth through time and across continents; it has been consistently praised for its vivid characters and its realistic depiction of life as a first-generation American."
