The novel is set in the late 19th century, during a time of political upheaval and social change in Poland.As the story unfolds, Stanislaw and Anielka must navigate their way through a world that is rapidly changing around them. They face challenges from their families, who disapprove of their relationship, as well as from the wider society, which is increasingly divided along political and ideological lines.Despite these challenges, Stanislaw and Anielka remain committed to each other, and their love becomes a symbol of hope and resilience in a world that is often dark and uncertain.
