Giveaway: In The Sea There Are Crocodiles by Fabio Geda

Thanks to Liz Leong of Doubleday, I am giving away 2 copies of The Sea of Crocodiles to my U.S. readers.

Book Description:

Fabio Geda tells the true story of a ten-year-old in early 2000. His mother shepherds him across the border of Afghanistan as it falls prey to Taliban rule, to the border of Pakistan. But is forced to leave him there alone to fend for himself. In The Sea There Are Crocodiles reconstructs the young boy's memories, perfectly preserving the childlike perspective and rhythms of an intimate oral history.

About the Author:

FABIO GEDA is an Italian novelist who writes for several Italian magazines and newspapers. This is his first book to be translated into English. Howard Curtis is a London-based translator of Italian and French texts, for which he has won numerous awards.
