Among the effects of a dead passenger, they come across a set of notebooks that tell of his life. As the boy reads the story to his elderly companion, this story and their own develop in tandem. Written in 1992, Mia Coutos first novel is a powerful indictment of the suffering war brings.Born in 1955 in Mozambique, Mia Couto ran the AIM news agency during the revolutionary struggle.
