Chamdi lived in an orphanage for ten years, and one day he learned that his parents may not have died at all. That he has a father. And Chamdi leaves the orphanage to find him. But the huge and ruthless Bombay is in no hurry to accept the boy into its fatherly arms, offering him only hunger and loneliness. The confused and frightened Chamdi is saved by his peers, Sumdi and Guddi, brother and sister. A girl sells strange figurines on the streets, and a boy begs. Chamdi didn't even think that children were allowed to do this. But they have a mother, albeit mentally damaged, and a master who provides food and shelter. Young Chamdi finds himself in a scary and fascinating world, where death is sometimes better than life. But he is stronger than everyone for whom cruel reality is familiar, because he has a dream - the magical country of Kahunsha, where all people are kind, where there is no hunger and cruelty, where sweet-voiced birds sing and beautiful animals walk. And someday Chamdi and everyone he loves will definitely end up there... The novel by the young Canadian writer is compared to the international bestseller “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini and the highest literary level of the book is noted. The novel was among the finalists for several literary awards, published in 14 countries and became an absolute bestseller in Canada and Italy.
