Opis

There’s an Egg in My Soup is a humorous, sharply observed travel memoir in which Dublin-born Tom Galvin recounts five years spent living and working in Poland during the mid‑1990s. Arriving as a trainee English teacher with no knowledge of the language, he is thrown into a country undergoing rapid transformation after the fall of communism. Galvin describes long, freezing winters, confusing bus timetables, queues for basic groceries, strange customs, and the occasional bowl of truly baffling soup. Through loneliness, culture shock, and unexpected joys, he discovers both the hardships and the warmth of everyday Polish life. The book blends wit, cultural insight, and personal reflection, offering an engaging portrait of a nation in transition as seen through the eyes of an outsider who slowly learns to call it home.
