Six Metres of Pavement by Farzana Doctor

Six Metres of PavementSix Metres of Pavement by Farzana Doctor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ismail has to live with the most terrible mistake that he made twenty years ago of leaving his baby in the hot car and her losing her life.

For twenty years he works, drinks, renovates his house but basically is alone. His wife left him a year after the baby died and people shun him. It is the type of mistake that can never be righted.

This was an amazing story that played out extremely well. It was a very brave story for Ms. Farzana Doctor to tackle. The message, if there is one, is that sometimes we just have to continue living.......somehow.
