If Fabio Geda's first-person rendition of Enaiatollah Akbadi's story were entirely fictional, it would more than stand up as a page-turner that makes you care about its hero from the outset and willingly accompany him on his often perilous journey from Afghanistan to Italy.

It is deeply unsettling to know that things like this still happened then and are surely still happening now. When Enaiatollah Akbari was 10 years old, on the night his mother was forced to abandon him in Pakistan, she insisted that he make her three promises: that he would never do drugs, never raise a weapon against another human being and never steal. would "allow local Main Street retailers to compete more effectively against out-of-state internet sellers," according to Durbin's office. it felt incredibly out of place and also made me uncomfortable because it almost seemed condescending at times.

He tells us about sleeping on the streets, crossing freezing mountains, working on building sites and in a dangerous stone factory, sailing across the sea on a tiny dingy, losing friends, before reaching Italy where he finds stability with a foster family.

Pure Enaiatollah sarebbe potuto diventare uno di quei ragazzini indottrinati che sgozzano malcapitati prigionieri al grido di “Allah akbar”, ma a lui non è accaduto; a proteggerlo, chissà, sarà stata una di quella miriade stelle che i suoi occhi cercavano di contare la notte durante il viaggio verso il Pakistan o, forse, la buona fortuna che qualcuno gli ha augurato strada facendo.
