One of the best books I’ve ever come across 
Beautiful writing, brilliant story. Touching, hard, raw. 

It deals with a very real problem, a problem as relevant now as ever. The consequences of capitalism, of greed, of money as a ruler are spread thought out this book. 
If there is one thing to take away from this book is that solidarity and kindness will always be the weapon of the people. It’s at the darkest times, the people come closer, the people speak up, the people rise up. 

Μόνο ο λαός σώζει τον λαό.
