This was so interesting and I learned a lot. I had no clue about this so I’m glad I got to learn a little bit. I also really enjoyed seeing Polish culture because I am Polish so it’s interesting to see the customs. It’s crazy to think that people(and still now) were marrying off there 13 year old girls to like 26 year old men. Like that’s insane. I found the romance(slight spoiler, not the arranged marriage) sweet. As well as the friendship and sense of community was nice.
