The Amber Heart is a powerful family saga of conflict, loss and love against all the odds.

This compelling love story is set in the part of rural Poland that is now Ukraine, in the middle years of the 19th century. Marianna is a wealthy Polish landowner's daughter, born and brought up in the beautiful manor house of Lisko, while Danilo is a poor Ukrainian estate worker. The lives of these two young people from vastly different backgrounds are destined to become hopelessly and tragically entwined from the moment of their first meeting.

This epic novel follows the fortunes of an array of characters whose lives are disrupted by the turmoil of the times, but central to the story is the enduring and passionate relationship between Marianna and Danilo.

Catherine Czerkawska is an award winning writer of historical and contemporary novels, short stories, popular non-fiction and more than 100 plays for the stage, for television and for BBC Radio 4.
