I like to read fiction that shows me new worlds. This book, set in a war torn country of Eastern Europe, opens that door onto extreme poverty and hardship, telling the story of a mother and her two small sons trying to survive starvation and other atrocious aftermaths of war. The little village where they live poorly has lost its men, and the women and children have been left to their own devices. Though 'The Sun Eaters' portrays extreme hardship, it also shows the reader how inventive children can be. The brothers are devoted to each other and to their mother. They are also very much alive in their thoughts and actions despite the gnawing hunger that is ever-present in their bellies. A poetry of sorts runs through the narrative but never distracts from the storyline which is grounded hard by an author who knows full well what he's writing about. When a well-liked local gypsy woman is murdered, is a particularly gruesome scene, offering a glimpse into an unflinching capacity for evil. This book raises a lot of questions, is extraordinarily sad in places, but at the same time offers up many bright and courageous moments during what was a bleak and seemingly hopeless point in history. Very highly recommended.
