Chronicler Of The Winds by Henning Mankell
One night Jose Antonio Maria Vaz hears gunfire from the deserted theatre next door to his bakery. He races to the theatre's uppermost gallery, and there lies the wounded body of Nelio, a street urchin. Gasping, the wounded boy asks to be taken to the roof to breathe the air. On that theatre roof, his life ebbing away, Nelio begins his story.
* 'By giving these doomed street children faces and dignity, Mankell has produced a literary work of art of international standing' - Sydsvenska Dagbladet * 'In Chronicler of the Winds Mankell has given his readers nothing less than a masterpieceThere is really no other way to describe this book, from the tragic introduction to its equally tragic conclusion, but in between there are 250 pages full of a positive and life affirming power, rarely seen elsewhere' - Sundsvalls Tidning
