- Synopsis
- &‘An ingenious marriage of comedy and crime.&’ Olga Tokarczuk, 2018 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature A thrilling sequel to the critically-acclaimed Mrs Mohr Goes Missing Easter, 1895. The biggest event in the Catholic calendar is a disaster in Zofia Turbotyńska&’s household. Her maid Karolina has handed in her notice and worse, gone missing. When Karolina&’s body is discovered, violated and stabbed, Zofia knows she has to investigate. Following a trail that leads her from the poorest districts of Galicia to the highest echelons of society, Zofia uncovers a web of gang crimes, sex-trafficking and corruption that will force her to question everything she knows. Set against the backdrop of the women&’s cause, Karolina, or the Torn Curtain refuses to turn a blind eye to the injustices and inequalities of its era – and ours. Praise for the series: &‘The sprightly narrative and vivid evocation of turn-of-the-century Poland make for an enjoyable tale.&’ Guardian &‘It&’s fun and sparky and the glimpse of turn-of-the-century Polish manners and mores is beguiling.&’ Daily Mail &‘The story fuses high comedy with an evocative portrayal of the period.&’ Sunday Express
