Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski

5.0

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A beautifully written, coming-of-age love story between two young men whose ways of surviving their 1980s communist Poland circumstances propel them in different directions. It perfectly captures the struggle of having to hide your feelings when all you want to do is live in your truth.
