Bóg Pośród Ruin by Kate Atkinson

Through episodic, often wry and poignant vignettes, the novel follows Teddy, a former RAF bomber pilot, as it traces his life from the violence and moral ambiguities of World War II into the quieter, complicated rhythms of postwar family life, aging and loss; it examines how chance, duty and memory shape a single life and a generation, balancing dark comedic moments with elegiac reflections on survival, love, and the costs of history.
