Whether by digging a pond deep in the woods, taking a lover, raising a family, or simply trying to get ahead of the endless work as the thunder rolls over their home, Urszula Honek's characters share, with the sincerest care and honesty, a local--yet so clearly universal--story of ruin and hope. Kate Webster's blazing translation of Urszula's poetic and earthen prose brings us to places seldom seen in literature, where the people do not ask to be understood, but merely to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Two Lines Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949641912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Urszula Honek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52107806671029,"sku":"9781949641912","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b8d82314-2c10-40f4-8b30-a3f81ab00215.jpg?v=1765862451","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/white-nights-9781949641912","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
