"The Unyoked" is a picaresque novel that tells the story of Rozalka Balawender, a peasant child who swears revenge on a squire. Fifteen years later, Rozalka is preparing to marry a wealthy groom. How did this social advancement happen? What crimes and misdeeds led to it? Renata Bożek's novel is a story about climbing the social ladder, in which standard Polish mixes with the dialect of the village of Lublin, and fictional characters meet figures known from the pages of history. It is a voice in the discussion about contemporary social inequalities and the chances of breaking out of one's place of origin. It is a story about the power of otherness and the force that drives people to development and change.

The author renders the cruelty and misery of bygone times with extraordinary fidelity. In the first half of the 19th century, Rozalka's reality expanded to include new media and new languages. Foreign words and inhuman beings become the vehicle of her (un)usual advancement. The heroine, carried by the incomprehensible, is unable to live naturally. She demands the impossible, which is exactly what we constantly desire - first for ourselves and then for our children. Karolina Felberg writes that this is a novel about the fate of a peasant daughter who wants a better life in an incredibly brutal, violence-saturated world. Adam Leszczyński recommends this story, told with bravado and linguistic bravura, which captivates and fascinates.
