A family scattered.
Lovers torn apart.
A painting that unites them all.
When Jozef is commissioned to paint a portrait of the younger
daughter of Krakow's grand Oderfeldt family, it is only his
desperate need for money that drives him to accept. He has no
wish to indulge a pampered child-princess or her haughty,
condescending parents - and almost doesn't notice Alicia's
bookish older sister, Karolina.
But when he is ushered by a servant into their house on Krakow's
fashionable Bernady ska street in the winter of 1937, he has no
inkling of the way his life will become entangled with the
Oderfeldts'. Or of the impact that the German invasion will have
upon them all.
