In the desert, a victorious rebel army advances on a makeshift camp overcrowded with refugee families. The aid workers expect a massacre. But then one young woman decides that she will not accept death.
Closer to home, an old man cries out for certainty. A sick child meets an invisible friend. And out there in the darkness, under an empty sky, a young man prepares to take a dangerous road.
Who is that, standing beside him?
“In a world that can seem rough and harsh, this beautiful book is a balm for the soul.” Simon Minchin, author of Silverback and Viscera
