So had the folks at San Francisco Book Review email me info about this new book The Hunger Saint.
Hunger Saint is about Ntoni, a twelve-year-old boy forced to labor in Sicily’s sulfur mines to support his family after his father’s untimely death. These child laborers were called carusu or “mine-boy”, a labourer in a sulfur mine who worked next to a picuneri or pick-man, and carried raw ore from deep in the mine to the surface.
Got great reviews from Seattle Book Review and Kirkus
