This books is about child labourers in Pakistan with a debt that never seems to be paid. More than anything else, they want freedom, but are too afraid of their master to admit it. The story is told through the eyes of Fatima and the one boy that would change their lives forever....
I thought that this book is very interesting, and is written in a way that makes you feel as if you are actually inside the world of Iqbal. I would recommend this book to people that love suspense and believers in human rights. I rate this book a 4.5/5

Ella, this looks like an interesting book. I might read it. When was this book set? Is Iqbal is the main character, or 'Fatima'?

ReplyDeleteThe book doesn't describe the time setting, but I presume it is set in around 1970, Pakistan. The story is told by the voice of Fatima describing what happened when Iqbal appeared, so Iqbal and Fatima are both the main characters.
