"A dark-haired, olive-skinned boy, perhaps a Jew or a gypsy, is abandoned by his parents during the war and wanders alone from one Slav village to another, through sunless forests and endless marshes, sometimes hounded and tortured, sometimes sheltered and taught. A story about the proximity of terror and savagery to innocence nad love, a juxtaposition of adolescence and the most barbaric forms of fallen adult experience."

One of the books I will release as part of the You're Such an Animal release challenge.
