Adopted by the Francoeurs, Hugues remains an outsider in his semi-family. At the same time, Habéké is adopted by a Canadian family and brought to Quebec after his own family dies of famine in Ethiopia. On the margins of their small town, the boys become sworn brothers, searching for their roots, desperate to return to exile, to a paradise called Ityopia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNarrated by the bold and imaginative voice of Hugues, Sylvain Trudel’s prize-winning debut novel is at times serious and at times fantastical. In their child’s world, where Hugues and Habéké haven’t yet learned the prejudices of adults, they embark on adventures, digging holes to China and building fantastical contraptions to take them to far off places, like their hero, explorer Roald Amundsen.","brand":"Archipelago","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45999419687167,"sku":"9781962770224","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781962770224_s600x595.jpg?v=1775596335","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781962770224","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
