About This Book

The narrative follows seven orphaned siblings who leave their home during harsh years and travel across remote, wintry landscapes, relying on each other's resourcefulness and memories of their mother. They face natural dangers, scarcity, and a succession of rural households; some children are separated, others find temporary shelter, and all develop practical skills, moral resolve, and communal bonds. Interwoven scenes portray folk customs, work, and music, and the text examines themes of poverty, solidarity, childhood resilience, and the formative influence of maternal teaching on conduct and learning.
