On the eve of World War II, in a place called Half-Village, a young man nicknamed the Pigeon falls in love with a girl fabled for her angelic looks. To court Anielica Hetmansk he offers up his "golden hands" and transforms her family's modest hut into a beautiful home, thereby building his way into her heart. War arrives to cut short their courtship, delay their marriage, and send the young lovers far from home, to the promise of a new life in Krak w. Nearly fifty years later, their granddaughter, Beata, repeats their postwar journey, seeking a new life in her grandmother's fairy-tale city. But instead of the whispered prosperity of the New Poland, she discovers a Krak w caught between its future and its past. Whimsical, wise, beautiful, magical, and at times heartbreaking, A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True weaves together two remarkable stories, reimagining half a century of Polish history through the legacy of one unforgettable love affair.Binding Type: Paperback

Great travel jewelry case
Color: Black
Great colors. Good size. Easy to pack and carry. Fits a good amount of jewelry. It’s decent quality. I know there is better out there but for the value it’s great. It snaps close and I haven’t had mine accidentally come open at all. The inside is soft. My necklaces did get a little tangled inside but not too bad. I could have put them in there better. Very nice though.

Store it all!
Color: Pink
This is a compact, light weight, efficient, and sturdy/convenient way to securely store jewelry. The small compact case allows jewelry from earrings to necklaces to bracelets and rings to be all together without being tangled and/or on top of each other. I have more earrings than rings so I used the ring area to store the rest of my earrings. The tight clasp allows the lid to be fasten snuggly to the body of the case. The price was right considering what other stores were charging. I chose the pink case which is a very soft pink, as like the case, but there are other colors to choose from. The case is mobile and would stand strong in a carry on case or bag. I highly recommend this item if you are looking to organize and have your jewelry neatly and safely all in one place!

Cute and super convenient for travel
Color: Black
Really happy with this jewelry box overall. It’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for travel. The compartments are well designed for rings, earrings, and even long bracelets, which fit really nicely.
The only downside for me is the necklace section. When using multiple necklaces, they can get tangled, so it’s not the most practical part of the case. Other than that, it’s a great product for the price and looks very cute

Nice gift!
Color: Black
I got this as a gift for a coworker and it was cute compact and of good quality. I love the earring compartment for her because she always wears earrings and she travels, I figured it would be a great thing for her to have.
