Cuando Bailan Las Luciernagas

EVEN IN THE DARKEST MOMENTS, A LIGHT ALWAYS SHINES Through the small window of his family's humble home, Lalloo watches as his brother is murdered in front of their small cabin, beside an imposing brick oven. Unable to escape the memory of that horrible night, Lalloo's parents and sisters remain trapped. Black smoke billows from the kiln's chimney as the family slaves away, brick by brick, to pay off their debts. To rescue them from this situation, Lalloo must free himself from his past and forge his own destiny. This is a story about family, friendship, and the hardships one may face to save their loved ones. Readers will find it hard to believe this is a debut novel as Aisha Hassan masterfully blends a story based on the real vicissitudes of Pakistani families with characters we can't help but love, action galore, emotional blows that leave you on the verge of tears, and the eternal hope that things can get better.
