Set against the background of a city terrorised by gang violence, A Patchwork of Moonlight and Shadow is the beautifully bittersweet story of one man who dared to stand against the gangs, as he awaits the vengeance that he knows must come. Based on the memories and investigations of his granddaughter, the tale creates a sharply drawn picture of the lives of a remarkable collection of the women and men of a neighbourhood plagued by poverty and crime, in which happiness and hope somehow miraculously continue to blossom.
