À propos de cet audio
On the outskirts of Lahore, Pakistan, a large yellow moon hung low in the sky when the men came with dogs and guns and cricket bats. In front of his family’s small hut on the edge of a looming brick kiln, Lalloo’s brother was murdered.
Unable to escape the memory of that horrible night, Lalloo’s parents and sisters remain trapped, the kiln chimney churning black smoke into the sky as the family slave, brick by brick, to pay off their debts. To rescue them, Lalloo must free himself from his past and carve out his own destiny.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"On the outskirts of Lahore, violence shatters Lalloo’s family when his brother is murdered outside their home. Narrator Jassa Ahluwalia brings empathetic intensity to this novel as Lalloo leaves his family in order to earn enough to free his parents and sisters from generations of debt bondage forcing them to work as brickmakers. Giving space to both memories and present struggles, Ahluwalia helps listeners track Lalloo’s story as it shifts between the past and present. As Ahluwalia speaks in a calm, grounded tone, his pacing underscores the slow grind of kiln labor and the pressures of poverty. Quieter moments reflect Lalloo’s reckoning with fear and obligation. Ahluwali’s narration amplifies this novel’s focus on survival, moral resolve, and the cost of choosing a different future."
