This book is about love, although it doesn’t contain a single word that starts with “love …”. And it’s about magic – not the cute, traded from TV screens, but the real magic that comes from the family and roots, when you dive head first into the Ocean of the Dead and dive out of it with fish in your teeth. And yet – for courage. For the unconditional courage to find one’s own, to recognize it, to hold on with one’s hands and feet and not to give it to anyone. Your home, your homeland, your heart, your right to walk with your head held high.
