Fast, improvised weddings. Secret meetings. Moments of happiness lived in hiding. Uprising love had as many faces as there were lovers - and these were not lacking even in the worst moments of the struggle for the capital. How was the fate of the war couples?
44 true stories of insurgent love - touching, dramatic, extraordinary stories about hot gusts of heart, sex, which in the most terrible moments became a substitute for closeness, and sometimes the last pleasure in life, and about mature love that will survive everything. Love which is a testimony to how much we need closeness of another person and the strength that comes from knowing that we have someone to come back to and wait for.
Among the heroes of the book, we can find ordinary Varsovians, as well as poets, artists, and even a Warsaw prostitute. They are all united by the insurgent love - the love of young people who, not knowing whether they would live to see tomorrow, tried with all their strength to experience every moment given to them as beautifully as possible. A love in which everyone can find a reflection of their own experiences.
