Book of the Month: September
In Oserian, a fictional African nation gripped by turmoil, young Feni watches his world unravel. As conflict rages and the ground beneath him shifts, he is thrust into a life of uncertainty, displacement, and quiet devastation.
But through the eyes of a child comes a story not only of loss, but of strength, a journey where shattered beginnings may yet lead to unexpected light.
Don't miss it!
