About the Book

'Hugely entertaining, funny, heart-warming and often moving' Yorkshire Post, UK. Thirty something Magda, born in England to Polish parents has recently broken up with her boyfriend and needs a fresh start. Quitting her job, she sets off to Warsaw to teach English. Her mother thinks she's gone to find a Polish husband but really, she's gone to explore her Polish roots. To her horror, Magda discovers that Mama and her bossy cousin Dagmara have sneakily put her on a dating site. Yet beneath the laughs, there's a tale of truth, pain and sadness as Magda uncovers her roots. A moving romantic comedy, 'Are My Roots Showing?' is about identity, migration, family, the fleetingness of life and love. Magda learns how history affects the present, and that where there are roots, new shoots can grow.READER REVIEWS...It's a charming book which can be read as a light-hearted tale but there is a lot of meaning beneath the surface. As an exploration of how it feels to belong to and reconcile two cultures, it's really successful. It offers humour, sadness and wisdom as well as entertaining read. Just beautiful!......Although Are My Roots Showing? explores some serious themes, it's all done with a very light touch and a lot of laugh-out-loud humour. The characterisations are exquisite... ...This is a beautiful book, sometimes really funny and sometimes heart-breaking...What readers say about the romantic comedy 'Are My Roots Showing?' ...Fantastic.
