Originalni opis knjige
One family's search for a better life: an immersive, kaleidoscopic debut for fans of Half of a Yellow Sun, Homegoing and Pachinko India, 1898. Pirbhai is thirteen when he steps into a dhow on the vague promise of work-his family is suffering and he will do anything to help. Yet the boat takes him to labour for the British on the East Africa Railway. He has no money, no voice, no power. He makes impossible choices in the name of survival.Sonal is fierce and loving, always willing to fight for what she believes in. When Pirbhai, weathered from his time on the railway but not broken, walks into her father's shop, she knows he is part of her future, and together they set out for a new life in Uganda.So begins the story of their family as they scatter across the world, fleeing the brutality of Idi Amin, forging new lives in London, marching for equality in 1990s Canada, searching for a safe mooring. But under everything lies a secret. And one day, a letter arrives that will fan its embers into a flame.
