Mid 70s. A nine-year-old boy, Sarut, from the first tender years of his life, becomes a witness of human poverty and brutality. Trapped in impasses imposed on him by poverty, family, social patterns and prejudices, he is confronted daily with violence, the painful memories that haunt him, his very existence. In an unequal struggle for survival, will he be able to stand up to the power that has dictated his inescapable future and take fate into his own hands?
The author, with a story inspired by true events, paints a portrait of a society oppressed by human trafficking and child labor in conditions of modern slavery, highlighting human depravity, corruption, flagrant violation of human rights, the redemption brought by truth.
Real, shocking, gut punch. It captivates the reader with its fiery theme and the sensuality of the writing.
H. Malissova, literary writer-columnist, Thessalia newspaper
A hard and deeply human book. A story that won't let you forget it. A truth that should not be forgotten.
