RUBY ISMAIL 'I was astonished and moved by the care, consideration and sensitivity the characters show to one another in this novel. Most authors set up lots of tensions between their characters to add more drama, but these people really value their relationships and get a huge amount from them. This book seems infused with a spirit of humanity and compassion which even the animals in it share. Although it's set in the distant past, it feels very direct and accessible - atmospheric and evocative without being weighed down by self-conscious historical detail and alienating archaic language. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes Paulo Coelho.' London Reader ?A beautifully narrated journey of friendship courage and strength of human spirit? Daniel's trust in himself and his friends allows him to overcome all obstacles. It is a moving and heart warming tale? The simplicity and honesty of the book is what keeps you turning page after page; a truly worthwhile read.? Shamim Moosa ?I love the Story?? Adele, With Pen in Hand
