From the award-winning author's book club favorite, Push Not the River and its sequel Against a Crimson Sky, comes The Warsaw Conspiracy, a stand-alone novel that completes James Conroyd Martin's trilogy set in Poland.
Engaging and opulent, The Warsaw Conspiracy unfolds as a family saga set against the November Rising (1830-1831), partitioned Poland's daring challenge to the Russian Empire. Brilliantly illustrating the psyche of a people determined to reclaim independence in the face of monumental odds, the story portrays two brothers and their fates in love and war: Michal is a seasoned veteran soldier, cautious of the evolving conspiracy; Jozef, his much younger brother and impassioned cadet, finds himself caught up in the vortex of a daring plot to abduct the Grand Duke of Russia. With Siberia or emigration to France as heart-rending contingencies, matriarchs Anna and Zofia stay steadfast in their resolve to steer the clan through ever-muddying waters.
