Summary:

When the narrator of 'House of Day, House of Night' arrives in a village in remote southwest Poland, she knows no one. Before long, though, she discovers that everyone there has a story. With the help of her neighbour, she pieces together the fragments of the living and the dead. Shard by shard, from the founding of the town to the lives of its saints, these stories capture not only a history but a cosmology.
