Synopsis of the Novel, Warm Arctic Nights

In Yuriy Tarnawsky's Warm Arctic Nights, a young boy's idyllic pre-WWII Polish childhood and nightmarish WWII Ukrainian adolescence are brought to vibrant hybrid life. At once reminiscent of Zweig's The World of Yesterday and Kosinsky's The Painted Bird, the novel is a swift and deeply engrossing fictive memoir of a bygone era and a masterful act of remembrance, memorial, and love.
