The Frog is a captivating novel that explores the themes of identity, belonging, and the search for meaning in life. The story follows the journey of a young woman named Alicja, who leaves her home in Poland to start a new life in England. As she navigates the challenges of a new culture and language, Alicja begins to question who she is and where she belongs.

Along the way, Alicja meets a cast of characters who help her to explore these questions. There's her landlady, Mrs. Taylor, a kind-hearted woman who welcomes Alicja into her home. There's her coworker, John, a shy and awkward man who falls in love with Alicja. And there's her friend, Marta, a fellow Polish immigrant who is struggling to find her place in England.

As Alicja interacts with these characters, she begins to learn more about herself. She discovers that she is stronger than she thought she was. She learns to embrace her Polish heritage, even though it sometimes makes her feel different. And she learns that true belonging comes from within, not from the people or places around her.

The Frog is a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that will stay with you long after you finish it. It is a story about the human condition, and the universal search for meaning in life. Alicja Urbanowicz has crafted a masterpiece that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming, and that will resonate with readers of all ages.
