I read the English version of the book, translated by ITBM. I was hoping the story could offer a good story for juvenile readers but sadly, it didn't work out for me. Everything seemed vague and the storyline is as confused and miserable as the Traveller, the main character himself. There are several noteworthy issues highlighted in the story such as deception, unjust treatment on plantation workers, protests & hunger strike. Nevertheless, this is the author's debut novel.
