Daunt Books

Ecstatically reviewed, this wistful and supremely moving novel matches the perfect simplicity of Claudel's award-winning Brodeck's Report. Traumatised by memories of his war-ravaged country, Monsieur Linh travels to a foreign land to bring the child in his arms to safety. Walking the streets of this strange new town, Linh encounters a widower whose dignified sorrow mirrors his own, and an instinctive friendship is born.
