One night before putting him to bed, Enaiatollah s mother tells him three things- don t use drugs, don t use weapons, don t steal. The next day he wakes up to find she isn t there. Ten-year-old Enaiatollah is left alone in Pakistan to fend for himself. In a book that takes a true story and shapes it into a beautiful piece of fiction, Italian novelist Fabio Geda describes Enaiatollah s remarkable five-year journey from Afghanistan to Italy where he finally managed to claim political asylum aged fifteen. His ordeal took him through Iran, Turkey and Greece, working on building sites in order to pay people-traffickers, and enduring the physical misery of dangerous border crossings squeezed into the false bottoms of lorries or trekking across inhospitable mountains. A series of almost implausible strokes of fortune enabled him to get to Turin, find help from an Italian family and meet Fabio Geda, with whom he became friends. The result of their friendship is this unique book in which Enaiatollah s engaging, moving voice is brilliantly captured by Geda s subtly simple storytelling. In Geda s hands, Enaiatollah s journey becomes a universal story of stoicism in the face of fear, and t
