About this ebook
"An eleven-year-old girl and boy live in an isolated village with 258
other citizens. Nobody has a name, and everything is calculated to break
their spirits so that they surrender to an existence of gray routine.
"But they have each other. They each have a passion: music and art. And
a mysterious force is guiding them and protecting them.
"When the
savagery of those in control finally transforms the girl, the boy must
help her find herself again. The path is an amazing journey through
which they discover the depths of their humanity and a startling method
to shake the village at its roots. Perhaps they can shift the world
toward happiness.
"Escape from the Village is an homage to
true friendship which can sustain the human spirit even against physical
and spiritual torture. It is a touching love story like no other."
