The set of fictional leters from fathers to sons in Zabierski family writtten through two centries: since 1770 to 1971. Not only it is a story of a family but Poland as well. It is also the story of power of gossips, of exaggerating the past events and of creating the past by the present which seems to be necessary for the ones who live now.

The power of the book is also the power of the language which is perfectly marked by author and matching for the decade from each letter come from.
