In a book that takes a true story and shapes it into a beautiful piece of fiction, Italian novelist Fabio Geda describes the remarkable 5-year journey of an Afghan boy who eventually found asylum in Turin. Already a bestseller in Italy, this is an uplifting story of hope, despite the boy Enaiatollah's arduous and frightening ordeal. Ages: 12+
Synopsis
One night before putting him to bed, Enaiatollah's mother tells him three things: don't use drugs, don't use weapons, and don't steal. The next day he wakes up to find she isn't there. Ten-year-old Enaiatollah is left alone in Pakistan to fend for himself.
