A searing dystopian vision of a young boy's flight through an unnamed, savaged country, searching for sanctuary and redemption from one of Europe's bestselling literary stars.
A young boy has fled his home. He s pursued by dangerous forces. What lies before him is an infinite, arid plain, one he must cross in order to escape those from whom he s fleeing. One night on the road, he meets an old goatherd, a man who lives simply but righteously, and from that moment on, their paths intertwine.
Out in the Open tells the story of this journey through a drought-stricken country ruled by violence. A world where names and dates don t matter, where morals have drained away with the water. In this landscape the boy not yet a lost cause has the chance to choose hope and bravery, or to live forever mired in the cycle of violence in which he was raised. Carrasco has masterfully created a high stakes world, a dystopian tale of life and death, right and wrong, terror and salvation."
