Lanmo sees it all – the change of the city as war creeps in, the way Mary grows up, leaves and falls in love – he knows his destiny will break them apart. Is having a friend worth the pain of knowing that at any moment you could lose them? This charming, magical and moving tale of love, war and resilience will have you deep in thought about how we live in and leave this world.
