Product Description
Sofia has lost her legs and her sister in a landmine accident. But now she's growing up and ready to fall in love. Her older sister Rosa is strong and beautiful and loves dancing. Sofia will never be able to dance, so how will anyone ever notice her enough to love her? She imagines a boy who will love her for herself, and then she meets him - but is the Moonboy real, or just a dream of the African night? Then Rosa falls sick with a mysterious illness and Sofia fears the worst. When Rosa is diagnosed with HIV and turns to African magic for a cure, Sofia is the one who has to be practical and think of the future.

Another great Mankell book, May 12 2007
By K. Rackleff "Aged to perfection" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Playing With Fire (Paperback)
I am a real fan of Henning Mankell. This one was not quite up to par with the others I had read, but still was a good read.
Listmania!
