Description
Little Boy is set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1935. A small boy's discovery in a mine in the Belgian Congo sets off a chain reaction, drawing the attention of influential figures worldwide - scientists, politicians and army men. As the boy travels through Africa by train and then to New York by ship, he becomes embroiled in a narrative that will lead him into the heart of one of the most devastating events of the 20th century. This novel weaves together themes of science, politics, compassion and war, creating a story that is both audacious and profoundly humane. With prose that is both baffled and beautiful, it navigates some of the darkest moments in our collective history - moments that remain depressingly relevant today. The ending will leave you stunned by the awful things that men have put forth into the world, much like its protagonist.
