“Kat, Regina, and Aniela are wonderfully developed characters, and their interactions form the joyous core of this novel…exploring the connections that women make in their lives, and sometimes the complications that can arise from them…Sometimes the past truly is prologue, and we just have to allow a talented writer and her story to open our eyes to this fact. I highly recommend this book. It is truly a delightful read.” – David Trawinski, Polish American Journal, December 2021

“Beautifully written, this book will remind you of the simplest forms of happiness in life…With delightful, funny, relatable, and adorable characters, this was an entertaining and heart-warming read.” – Rain Reads Reviews

“Where the Stork Flies, by Linda Wisniewski, weaves elements of magical realism, the supernatural and time travel, but is at its heart a book about women, their connections to one another and to their families.” – Susan Wagner, author of Unmuted: Voices on the Edge

“I found myself pausing my read several times in order to write down a quote from the main character. An enjoyable book club read.” – Amazon review

“Delicately, Wisniewski uses folklore and whimsy to portray a dark reality of humanity. Not an easy feat.” – Story Circle Book Reviews

“A charming story that combines a feminist perspective with the Black Madonna of Częstochowa…funny, touching, and thought provoking. ” – Lauren B. Davis, author of Even So, and The Grimoire of Kensington Market. 

“If you’ve ever looked at a sepia-toned photograph of your great-great-great grandmother and been intrigued or wondered what her life was like and if it had anything in common with yours, you will enjoy and appreciate this magical, meaningful story.”- 5 star Amazon review
