A review by softmage_fromba
Chronicler of the Winds by Henning Mankell
4.0
This was a cover buy, but I am SO happy I bought it!
The story is told in a way I could not stop until it finished. (I want to hug Nelio and his friends).
Personally living in a city where you often see people living on the streets I think it also made me look at others diferently. When the general idea is that homeless people are lazy and just drunk or rebelious, the reality is quite different. Which deep down, one knows, but reading a story like The Chronicler of the Winds helps put in perspective some things and situations.
