Doll

This utterly oddball, fiercely enjoyable novel dissects the self-destructive romanticism of a brilliant, self-made tycoon who falls in love with a glamorous airhead. The book, with Proustian patience and subtlety, analyzes the delusions of infatuation seen through the lens of class.
Phillip Lopate, Salon

The Doll demonstrates 19th-century realism at its best.  
Czes aw Mi osz 

. . . a great panoramic novel of 19th-century Poland.
Timothy Garton Ash, The Independent
