Erudite, humbling and rhapsodic ... No thinking traveller
interested in Poland should overlook this essential book
*Guardian*
Moran is a sensitive, intelligent companion, as able to capture the
rapacious spirit and chaotic conditions of modern Poland as he is
the mournful, savage ghosts of its past. The result is moving and
absorbing
*Metro*
A Country in the Moon is literary travel writing at its best:
elegiac, informative and profound. It's probably the best travel
book I will read this year
*Wanderlust*
A well-crafted, spirited and original polonaise, triumphantly
balancing humour with scholarship
*Observer*
There is so much to admire in this well-researched and hugely
entertaining book, and so much to learn ... if you fancy elegant
erudition, A Country in the Moon is a three-star feast
*Time Out*
