What would you talk about if you were stuck in a room with a drug dealer for five days?  Magda, a Polish immigrant, grows cannabis in underground containers in eastern Poland and ships it to the UK. But her plans change when she has to attend a funeral of a family member and she only has five days to convince her mysterious listener to help her expand her empire. Magda begins to tell the unexpected story of her life - the cover jobs in London, the strained relationship with her family who know nothing about who Magda really is, and her development as a cannabis dealer. Can you trust somebody who is two people, and how do you know when to believe a professional liar? ...Menacing, fast-paced, with a unique and intense voice, A.M. Bakalar's first novel reveals unexpected truths about the lies we tell and the people we are.

Weaving together fragments from diaries, stories and notebooks - including moving texts written by his two brothers and Stefania herself - Rozewicz creates a portrait of their lives and relationships which is sometimes brutal, often hilarious, and always tender. Here is an artist attempting to give form, even meaning, to life  -  and death.
