Amazon.com description: Product Description:
It is the wise old woman of the village who teaches young Sofia about the secrets in the fire. Within the flames hide all things past and all things yet to be. But not even old Muazena can see the horrors the fire holds for Sofia and her familyÂnot the murderous bandits who drive them from their home, and not the landmine that takes Sofiaâs legs. In her long journey toward recovery, Sofia must still deal with growing up. Along the way, she discovers friends, and foes, in places sheâd never expected. Through it all, Sofia draws on a strength she never knew she had, a fire of her own thatâs been a secret all along. In beautifully spare, unsentimental language, Henning Mankellâs stunning novel puts a very human face on the suffering in Africa.
