      Set against the backdrop of Galicia under Habsburg rule after the 1848 revolutions, the narrative follows the Zemka family as they navigate the quest for Polish independence amidst turmoil. Uniquely narrated by the ancestral "House of Shadows," the story captures the house's silent witness to generations of struggle and longing. The Zemka women, bound by tradition and the weight of history, yearn for love and freedom, yet remain largely immobile, with only one young woman daring to break free as the twentieth century looms.
