The Great Depression began to take a toll on Poland's economy in the 1930s. Naive and kind-hearted Marianna, who resides in the rural village of Zalipie in southeast Poland, dreams of a different life in the city. Her whirlwind romance with Leon, a charismatic but egotistical musician, leads to a hasty marriage, offering her a chance for change.
Leon's father, Stanislaw, operates the local grocery store in Kazimierz, a bustling district of Krakow. The shopkeepers and their families in this close-knit community warmly welcome the couple, but their lives are forever altered by the arrival of the newlywed couple.
Barbara Pearman employs rich descriptive prose to set a series of scenes that offer insights into the diverse cast of characters' personal lives, recollections, and sometimes wild imaginings. These scenes paint a vivid picture of the lives of the inhabitants of this small row of shops and their complex relationships with each other.
