"Einst reiste er als Ingenieur um die Welt und baute riesige Brücken. Nach dem Tod seiner Frau aber ist es still geworden in der Turiner Wohnung am Fluss. Sein Sohn lebt in Finnland, mit der jüngeren Tochter hat er keinen Kontakt, nur die älteste sieht er ab und zu mit ihrer Familie. An einem Sonntag kocht der Mann ein traditionelles Mittagessen für sie. Doch sie sagt kurzfristig ab. Im Park lernt er Elena und ihren Sohn kennen und lädt sie spontan zum Essen zu sich ein. Diese zufällige Begegnung wird alle drei für immer verändern.

"One night before putting him to bed, Enaiatollah's mother tells him three things: don't use drugs, don't use weapons, don't steal. The next day he wakes up to find she isn't there. They have fled their village in Ghazni to seek safety outside Afghanistan but his mother has decided to return home to her younger children. Ten-year-old Enaiatollah is left alone in Pakistan to fend for himself.
In a book based on a true story, Italian novelist Fabio Geda describes Enaiatollah's remarkable five-year journey from Afghanistan to Italy where he finally managed to claim political asylum. His ordeal took him through Iran, Turkey and Greece, working on building sites in order to pay people-traffickers, and enduring the physical misery of border crossings squeezed into the false bottoms of lorries or trekking across inhospitable mountains. A series of almost implausible strokes of fortune enabled him to get to Turin, where he found help from an Italian family and met Fabio Geda.
The result of their friendship is this unique book in which Enaiatollah's engaging, moving voice is brilliantly captured by Geda's subtle storytelling. In Geda's hands, Enaiatollah's journey becomes a universal story of stoicism in the face of fear, and the search for a place where life is liveable."
