Meet the Author of Maps & Shadows, Kysia Jopek

Meet Kysia Jopek from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at the Windsor Public Library and discuss her first novel entitled,” Maps and Shadows”. Jopek draws on a little known chapter of World War II—the Soviet deportations of 1.5 million innocent Polish civilians to forced labor camps in Siberia shortly after the Soviets occupied eastern Poland at the beginning of the war.  Jopek based her story on the history of her own family, as well as extensive independent research. She brings her rich literary and poetic background, and a worldview of global dimension, to illuminate this lost piece of history with lyricism and grace. Free. Call 860-285-1918 to register.
