Book synopsis

An NPR Best Book of the Year

This moving graphic memoir is a coming-of-age story set in Poland as the country transitions from communism to capitalism. Perfect for fans of Persepolis!

In the late 1980s, Poland faces debilitating food shortages, worker discontent, and astronomical inflation. Seemingly overnight, the country transitions from communism to capitalism. During this period of flux, Kasia Babis is born.

In the shadow of national change, Kasia experiences her own journey of growth, from rebellious teen to politically minded activist. She grapples with her country's deep-rooted Catholicism and forges her own beliefs, leading to her becoming an active part of Poland's left-wing Razem party. Kasia fights to uphold her progressive values while her country heads in the opposite direction, and learns firsthand that broader societal upheavals reverberate on a deeply personal level.
