Julia Eccleshare's comment:

A deeply moving story of a 15 year olds’ first encounter with his mother since she had abandoned him as a baby. Joel has left school and longs to begin a new life as a sailor. But first he and his father travel far from home to meet the woman who left them. Joel’s journey of discovery is thoughtfully explored.

 

If you enjoyed this then make sure you read Mankell's other titles, including Bridge to the Stars, Shadows in the Twilight, and When the Snow Fell.
