*Disclaimer: I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
This was a delightful collection of autobiographical stories from the authors life growing up in Poland. Poland is a country that I know very little about and so it was really interesting to learn a bit about the history in graphic novel form. The illustrations are bold and brightly coloured which is my preferred style of artwork so I enjoyed the book visually.
Some of the writing seemed a little stilted in places but overall I enjoyed the reading experience. If I had the chance to read more in the future I would give it a go.

Marzi made me smile a lot. She was a child who stayed a child -- her wonder, fears, little triumphs were the things of childhood, the kind of things which also offered vivid images about the adults in her world. I am curious to read her other books to follow her growth in the country that rationed sugar and meat.
