Publisher's Synopsis
Feliks Zhukovski is a Pole in Paris - a hangover from another age. Estranged from his family by the Second World War, Feliks has given his life to Communism. As a travel guide to the old eastern bloc, his personal life is a resounding failure. Unfortunately for Feliks, it's 1991. Europe pulls back the Iron Curtain, taking away the certainties of his life. Potentially unemployed, Feliks is surprised to be selling his guide to an American firm, setting in motion life-changing events. Reunited with a brother he hasn't seen for fifty years, Feliks has hope of finding his mother and a long-lost love...after he finds a way through the smoke and mirrors of Europe's past. And the convictions on which he based his adult life.
