I love this writing style. I realize this has been translated, but I sincerely hope the translator did the author justice in keeping the original tone of the book. I love the way the author describes how Ánte sees his world and experiences everything around him. I love Ánte's softness and his resolve to have both himself and his culture. His journey in this story was not easy. It won't be afterwards either. But this kiddo is strong. I believe in his power to create a world where he gets to have it all.
