About This Book

The narrative follows a young, industrious boy who lives in a gloomy urban court and saves modest earnings for a promised seaside holiday. When his stepfather's betrayal and the disappearance of his savings drive him from home, the boy contemplates running away to his grandfather and endures loneliness and moral anguish. Neighbours, including an elderly cobbler and a stern but sympathetic woman, intervene; encounters with local authority and small acts of kindness gradually soften his resentment and help restore hope, leading toward a kinder, more secure future in a coastal village.
