This is the story of Toninu, a little boy growing up in Furjana, a suburb in the tiny island of Malta, during the 50s of the past century when it was still a British colony. His gradual awareness of life's realities, equally harsh and sweet, sets him on a voyage of discoveries and gently untangles the bonds of parental love that seeks to shelter him. His journey is peopled with colourful characters weaving in and out of the rich tapestry of life around him. The novel provides a unique description of life of islanders.
