YA
Translated by Daniel Hahn.
Orphaned Samuel, homeless and hungry, stumbles into a small Brazilian town and makes an unlikely home for himself inside the giant, hollow head of an unfinished St. Anthony statue. There, inexplicably, he can hear the private prayers of the townspeople. A strange and satisfying read that will please fans of Gabriel García Márquez but feels like a mismatch for a young adult audience.
