A thrilling nineteenth-century historical saga of love, war and loss as Poland struggles for freedom from Russian domination. 'On the Side of Good' is Book One of a pan-European trilogy charting the fortunes of the Samojarski dynasty. In 1813 Teofil Samojarski returns from the Napoleonic Wars to Sarenki, his run-down spa in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, and sets about its development. The story follows his own fortunes and those of his children, Julek and Franciszka, as they embark on their separate lives across a Europe replete with religious conflicts, passions and romance.

About the Author
Born at his family spa, Iwonicz, in southern Poland, Iwo Zaluski came to England aged seven as a refugee from World War 2.

In the 1960/70s he played keyboards in a London-Polish rock band. Since early retirement from a teaching career, he has researched and published a dozen books on music. Inspired by his family history, this is his debut as a novelist.
