Synopsis: The boy narrator grows up haunted by a truth he both wants and does not want to discover. The matter: a deadly betrayal, unspoken and unspeakable, born of political enmity. As the boy listens through the silence that surrounds him, the truth spreads like a stain until it engulfs him and his family.

I liked: Deftly written, with beautiful narration. The story was gripping. I read it in one sitting.

I didn't like: That it ended. I wanted to keep reading the story indefinately!
