'Heaven' is an unsettling story about two victims of bullying (aged 14) who become friends on the basis of their respective tragedies.
The book explores themes of ableism and classism. It also sets forth two contradictory philosophical arguments regarding the strong trampling over the weak. One suggesting that the hardships of the weak exist for a purpose that can only be understood in retrospect or by a god, and another suggesting that there is no unique reason or purpose for people having challenges and the fact that a person struggles is purely coincidence. It views these arguments under the lens of the poor who struggle to earn yet who's efforts bear no fruit, and the victims of bullying who are suffering the torment of their classmates for no wrong on their part.
Each of the takes on 'purpose' and 'meaning' or the lack thereof, create a different vision of 'Heaven' presented to the reader.
