Is there a difference between a lie and a made-up story?
This is a sad, hopeful story of a young boy and the woman who saves his life, refugees from the war in the Caucasus as they try to make their way towards safety. There's a helpful map at the front of the book, but don't look too carefully at the details of Koumaïl's journey or it'll spoil the story a bit. Just look at the geography if you don't know it.
Good for young adults and regular adults. ...more
