A chilling and dramatic tale of belief and freedom, of imprisonment and of escape, from the multi-award winning author Anne Fine. 'A rare achievement... subtle, stimulating and morally complex' "Sunday Times". Ages: 12+.
Synopsis
Told who to cheer for, who to believe in, Yuri grows up in a country where no freedom of thought is encouraged. But it is still a shock when a few careless words lead him to a virtual death-sentence. What, or who, can he possibly believe in now? Can he even survive? And is escape possible?
