A remarkable, multifaceted story made up of journal accounts,
memories, conversations and personal experience, The Bronski House
is a paean to Poland, a landmark in travel writing, and a family
history – tied together by the unique experience of returning
from exile. In the summer of 1992, accompanied by Philip Marsden,
the exiled poet Zofia Hinska stepped into the Belorussian village
where she had spent her childhood. The Bronski House is in part the
remarkable story of what she found. It is also the story of her
mother, Helena Bronska – of her coming of age during the Russian
revolution, her dramatic escapes from Bolsheviks, Germans and
partisans, of her love and loss in a now vanished world. It
brilliantly reconstructs a world which vanished in 1939 when Soviet
tanks rolled into eastern Poland.
