Rezension zu „In the Sea There are Crocodiles “
"A true story woven into a wonderful piece of fiction ... This is a story of perseverance and endurance made all the more moving as it is based on truth" -- Vanessa Lewis The Bookseller 20110421 "Fabio has a poetic turn of phrase, but lets events speak for themselves. The result is a moving and eye-opening chronicle of hardships no child should have to endure, mitigated by intermittent kindness" -- Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times "Geda's voice combines the plucky survivor's determination of his charge with moments of pathos-soaked poignancy and others of joyful laughter ... This little gem, beautifully and unobtrusively translated, will raise tears of sorrow and of joy" Independent "Based on a true story, this extraordinary tale of a young boy's search for a home will be published simultaneously in adult and YA editions" -- Fiona Noble The Bookseller 20110421 "This powerful true-life tale ... is sure to appeal to fans of historical fiction."
