An interesting novel set during the 1999 World Trade Organization protests. Told through a few different perspectives, it captures some of the feel of those protests, from different angles. Still relevant today, in many ways, it's a novel that will make you think and also move you. I didn't *love* it, but I think I'll give it another read soon. (I may not have been in the right mood for it at the time.)

Really interested in reading more by the author. Recommended.

Set during the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle back in 1999, this novel perfectly captures the pulsing tension of an uprising for various view points. The main character is Victor, a young man who ran away from home after his mother died. His father is also in the crowd but to say any more would be a spoiler. From anger and violence to forgiveness and hope, this novel captures it all. I just hope there's more to come soon from Sunil Yapa because this left me heartbroken in the best possible way.

Unfortunately I was unable to read this book before my copy expired, Since I can't review it I will give it an average of 3 stars so as not to affect its rating. I'm very sorry about this and thanks for the opportunity to read the novel!
