I enjoyed this short novel. Introspective, melancholic, yet warm and all about how connecting with other human beings is important.
War ridden country where the main character travels is unnamed and that was such a great touch making the story even closer to the reader. That country can be any country that recovers from conflict, it's up to the readers imagination. Coming from such a country (even though it was more than 30 years ago) made me feel the struggles and the disparity even deeper. It also shows how all the suffering people suffer in similar ways.
Has anybody read this novel and what are the thoughts?
