New e-book: Hannes, Stepan Zoryan

In a village at the beginning of the twentieth century, eight-year-old Hannes tries to make sense of the loss of his father and the things he has heard about his mother. The boys’ taunts sow doubt in his mind, while a scene he happens to witness unsettles his notions of love and fidelity. Childhood innocence collides with the secrets of adults and the harsh judgments of village life. Through Hannes’s experiences, we see how deeply words and accusations a child does not understand can wound him.
