Today I would like to recommend you a next book of the author of, f.e."Milaczek", "Szkoła żon" / "School of Wives" or "Opowieść niewiernej" / "The story of unfaithful woman. Ladies and Gents, here it is -"Ballada o ciotce Matyldzie" / "Ballad for aunt Matilda" [2013] by Magdalena Witkiewicz.
I'm sure you'll like it.
Also you can find more posts about her on my blog here.
About what this book is:
This book isn't like previous - only with problems, not easy life and questions with almost every step. This book is about faith, believe, hope, love, changes, promises and "good future". And also it's about the fact that only true friends, people who really loves you and knows you, will be always with you, no matter what.
"Ballad for aunt Matilda" is the story about Joanna [Joan], a young girl, who got married and her husband was a man of her dreams, as she thought, and who loves more his job and being scientist and discoverer somewhere on the end of the world, than being with his wife. And of course even the fact that Joan is pregnant isn't a good argument for her husband to stay.
One day, when Joan came to her beloved aunt Matylda [Matilda], who was her close family, everything is changing. Her aunt said that she's sure that Joan won't have a boy, but a girl and she has to give this little cute girl the same name as she has - Matilda. And also she told her that she will die soon but she shouldn't worry about it and that she shouldn't be sad or cry, but just be happy and enjoy every moment with her child, and that she doesn't have to worry about own money, because she has a small business, and after her death two nice guys will come to her to say her everything and just to take care of her and about the little girl.
In the same moment when little Matilda is born, the old Matilda is dying and this is the moment when the whole story is beginning for good. And when Joan's life is changing not only because of the child or the lost of her aunt, but because of new people on her life and problems with her own marriage.
After some weeks her husband is coming back and a few moments later is leaving again to find some "new and amazing" things somewhere where people don't have any connection. But this is not the real reason of his next "travel", but young and pretty Swede woman , with who he is having an affair and...a child.
I won't tell you what will happen with Joan and with her life, with her marriage, because I think that this book and the story inside will surprise you. I can tell you that everything will be well in the end. But not for all, of course.
Things to look out for:

Why you should read it:
I think that if you like books with life's story, this one is for you. It will good also for these who likes to feel emotions, and cry a bit in the end. Also this book is about life, real life, about looking for happiness and love, about mistakes, friendship, hope and finally about positive thinking. And that miracles happen.

The fact that we always have to fight for our happiness and love, that good things always comes to us, and that only true friends can change your life and just be with you no matter what. And we just have to believe in it.
Where / when you should read this:
"Ballada o ciotce Matyldzie" / "Ballad for aunt Matilda", isn't a long book because it has about 304 pages, but I think it's good to read it when you have a bit of peace and you are able to think about what you're reading. But I'm sure that some of you will be able to read it in one day and one of you will do it during the weekend.
