It is 1935 and a small boy is found in a mine in what is known as the Belgian Congo. Against this backdrop, the boy's discovery draws the attention of men of distinction across the globe - scientists, politicians and army men. It is a time of ferment; nefarious forces are at play.
After a tortuous journey by train through the continent of Africa, the boy travels by ship to New York, where he is taken into the care of the United States Army. Soon enough a race begins to bring the boy into safe custody. From here our diminutive hero will become swept up in a narrative not of his own making, a narrative that will lead him into the heart of one of the most devastating events of the twentieth century.Audacious in its conceit, thrillingly readable and profoundly humane, Little Boy is a novel of science and politics, of men and war, of compassion and becoming.
