Милост за приятелите

In a small town by the sea, an ordinary gang of boys comes of age during Bulgaria's transition, looking, often naively, for a place in a world grown heartless and confused. What starts as a look through a keyhole opens into a wide view of a future that was promised but never arrived as expected: friendships blur, ideals collapse, and salvation is reduced to physical survival. The book begins almost like a teenage novel, with everyday dialogue that takes the reader into ordinary homes of the 1990s, then gathers speed like an avalanche. One reviewer reads it through Moses leading the slaves through the desert for forty years, and asks what it takes to turn the sins and fears of the past into trust.
