Vodka and Apple Juice by Jay Martin is her memoir of her three years she lived in Poland because her husband an Australian Diplomat was sent to live there. This book was an interesting look at a country that isn't usually touched upon in travel memoirs. I enjoyed this fact. I loved learning about life in Poland and reading how they felt in this country as well as their struggle to learn the Polish language. If you want a travel memoir about a country many overlook this is it. I loved reading about their lives in Poland.
I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review

You can learn a lot about the people, culture and history of Poland while reading this travel memoir. Jay follows her husband to Poland for his three year stint as a diplomat leaving their home in Australia behind. What follows is a sometimes frustrating but often humorous account of their life for the three years in Poland. I enjoyed reading about their travels all around Europe, learning some Polish words and laughing at her trails and tribulations.
Reviewer 379442
As a Pole, it's always interesting to read about Poland through the eyes of a Westerner. I greatly enjoyed reading the author's reflections on being a diplomat and the Polish psyche; however, I found the portion of the book dealing with her relationship with her husband to be the weakest by far. The marital discord portions of the book were not interwoven into the whole particularly well, and I felt those portions would have been better served by a separate book.
