Elisabeth Katz's debut novel, Hijito, is a powerful and moving story of a young boy's struggle for survival in a hostile world. Set in the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the novel follows the journey of Hijito, a 12-year-old boy who is abandoned by his mother and left to fend for himself on the streets.
Hijito is a resourceful and determined boy, but life on the streets is harsh. He is constantly hungry, cold, and alone. He is also preyed upon by criminals and other predators. But Hijito never gives up hope. He dreams of a better life, and he believes that one day he will find it.
One day, Hijito meets a kind-hearted woman named Maria. Maria takes Hijito in and gives him food, shelter, and love. Hijito begins to heal from the trauma of his past, and he starts to believe that he can have a future.
But Hijito's newfound happiness is short-lived. Maria is arrested and deported, and Hijito is once again left alone on the streets. He is devastated, but he refuses to give up. He knows that he must find a way to survive, and he is determined to make a better life for himself.
Hijito's story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. It is a story of survival, resilience, and hope. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
If you are looking for a powerful and moving read, then I highly recommend Hijito. It is a book that will challenge you, inspire you, and change your perspective on the world.
