Описание: A young child's health hangs in a balance, and the reality that unfolds around him becomes a portrait of some of the complex natures of humankind and the virtues or otherwise that define our choices. The setting is a Ghanaian town, but the truth of the plot may very well replay in any village, town or city anywhere in the world. Like a blinding light at night, a family is left alone when they need a father the most. The betrayal is painful and the family, left with little money and a sick child to care for, find themselves gasping for air. Life, seen through the predicament of the sick child, affirms a faith that God indeed works everything out in the end. "When the Child Fell Ill" is an intriguing blend of prose, poetry and song. There are moments that are piercingly sad, and others where the reader and audience could find solace in hope. In every scene, we find in the characters some of the simple, yet poignant attitudes that define our choices both small and great, and all of which are carefully woven into the tapestry of our lives and those of our families. |
