The book is nice and in most cases accurate, nevertheless as a person that has been living in Poland for over 6 years and having also polish background there are some aspects of the book that should be clarify. One of them is at the very end when she mention that polish people tend to use diminutives. This is true only for Krakow, in other places the expressions are not mention in the same way. Another aspect that she should clarify is the church. People still going to church, even young people go around on Sunday to church and you will find several times that there is not place to seat. I will not point out all the errors, instead I will recognize the effort to show in such a short book how polish people are. Of course the book is outdated in some aspects but is a good first approach to how polish people behave and their traditions, and the fact that she does this in just 86 pages is pretty amazing.

A polarized people The Poles are either bubbling with life, or comatose; they love or they loathe. It is this total commitment to the occupation of the moment which earns them the reputation of being mercurial. As Hemar wrote in his song: "If only Poles did systematically and economically what they do spontaneously, they would be perfect." Necessity is the mother of invention Key national characteristics are adaptability, a knack for improvisation, and the ability to make the best of what is available. A good Polish cook is one who can make gourmet soup from a rusty nail. The Polish touch Devotion to style pervades all areas of life: the table might be rickety, but it is covered with a snowy tablecloth and decorated with a vase of flowers. Never say never When the Communists rather foolishly tried to stop the Poles practicing their religion, the churches filled to overflowing. "Forbidden" is a term of encouragement to a Pole.
