The story brings a time and place alive in vivid detail and impresses the reader with its lively storytelling, while exploring the themes of humanity, truth and justice. The story is a mine of experiences in which history is defined and explored, social and political relations are getting tense and belligerent, social injustice and differences are surfaced, human suffering is paid, and much more.
