"Do bad things happen to good people everywhere?" * Oliver lives in the small town of Hopefield in South Africa. After a violent farm attack on his family, Oliver is in pursuit to become unstuck from his pain and family tragedy. He travels the world and finds himself in the middle of war-stricken Aleppo in Syria, devastating conditions in Dharavi, India and lonely and forgotten Kamagasaki in Japan. Finding more suffering in the world, Oliver struggles with the reality that every small effort on his part, does too little to change the world. When Oliver meets the wildfire that is Yossarian, a worldly and passionate Indian man who was born in poverty and adopted into India's wealthiest family in the breath-taking lands of Assam, Oliver discovers that along with a hurting world, there is also love and hope even in the most humble of places. Life will change, people may leave, but love will never die. * 'One of the most poignant and heart-pulling stories of the year.' * 'Powerful, poetic and touching.'
