Synopsis

Review: An absorbing tale from beginning to end. It is a long time since I received a book which I was quite unable to put down. It gripped me within minutes and I continued reading until I had finished the last word. I can remember no other book which held me so completely, however far back I search. The travels and adventures in Kenya and Tanzania were particularly enjoyable for anyone who has lived in Africa. The grim, darker aspects of life in Liberia were all too real and credible. I find the spiritual undertone and its parapsychology all too convincing. We all have experiences when ordinary reasoning cannot explain the seemingly impossible. Only a belief in God can open our minds and satisfy our souls. -James Goodburn, Winchester, December 2008. Synopsis: Ranging from South America to Africa and Italy, Christopher Cardew's inspirational novel explores the extremes of nature, and the extremes which men go to in order to survive, find a niche in life and attain personal redemption. A web of dramatic events is drawn together, almost miraculously, by the appearance of Pietro, a young orphan from a favela in Rio de Janeiro, whose luminous presence touches all who meet him - both in everyday life and in the unseen world of the spirit. Hints of Robert Louis Stevenson and Ernest Hemingway add high adventure to this saga of the sea and the changing land. The author's brilliant depiction of characters in crisis, and his keen psychological insight, make Pietro a highly rewarding read.
