"I know you. You wrote a book about gliding. You were working in the Montange Noire.
“Yes, that’s right.
Cesia looked at the man suspiciously, trying to determine what his motives were.

Matthew Illaszewicz is a natural storyteller and he knows a great story when he hears it. While at university in Ottawa, Canada, his Babcia (grandmother) would amaze him with her World War II adventures. He realized that everyone would enjoy hearing the story and that he was the person to write it.
After university, Mr. Illaszewicz took a job at a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio station in the Canadian Arctic. When he wasn’t telling other people’s stories, he began to capture the power and brilliance of Cesia Illaszewicz’s determined journey through hardships, starvation and near-death dramas. He skillfully portrays the enthusiasm and passion the protagonist had for her new husband, and their difficult voyage to North America.
This is Matthew Illaszewicz’s first novel. He continues to live in the Canadian Arctic and enjoys kite skiing across the ice and adventures on the land and water.
