In the orchard, the swallows

Hobbs, Peter 1973- (author.). OverDrive, Inc. (Added Author).

Summary: "A young Pakistani man survives fifteen years in a dreadful prison by clinging on to a single memory of a girl he once met in his family's beautiful mountainside orchard -- with disastrous consequences. Elegant and lyrical but never sentimental, this moving tale of love and redemption is storytelling at its most evocative and compassionate."--Publisher's description.
