About the Book
Lahore, towards the end of the nineteenth century: a barefoot boy sits on the Zam-Zammah cannon outside the museum. Everyone takes him for a local street child. His name is Kim, the son of an Irish soldier – and even he is not quite sure who he is.
When a Tibetan lama arrives in Lahore in search of a river that washes away all sin, Kim joins him. The Grand Trunk Road becomes their world, a stream of a thousand faces. Yet the further it takes them, the deeper Kim is drawn into another game: the rivalry between empires for Inner Asia, which needs a boy who can speak every language and play every role.
Between the lama and this powerful pull, he never has to choose. Kipling lets him wander between belonging and the freedom of never belonging entirely to any one place.
