Book excerpt: Brutal, fast-paced, impressively observed; This novel, which is the story of a man’s identity struggle with an event of social unrest; Set in a fertile valley where a strike of migrant workers against greedy landlords is spiraling out of control. Andy Davies, once a purposeless man who finds himself on strike, briefly becomes the leader of the strike and is eventually crushed in his service. A principled challenge will come at a heavy price. This novel, which opposes the acceptance of life as it is; It deals with both the exuberance of the community and the loneliness of the individual. The author, based on his memoirs; he intertwines the trade of workers, exploitation of labor, resistance, solidarity, the stories of the characters and creates a single novel at the same time. A portrait of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless, a man’s violent reaction to injustice, the novel bears witness to a great horror that shakes the foundations of equality and justice. A harsh yet captivating novel about people living on the fringes of society who depend on each other for survival, both physically and emotionally.
