Résumé
Mercy lives in modern-daybr /Pietermaritzburg, South Africa with herbr /eccentric foster aunts?twobr /elderly sisters so poor that they can only affordbr /one lightbulb. A nasty housing developer is eying their house. And thatbr /same house suddenly starts falling apart?justbr /as Aunt Flora does, too. She’sbr /forgetting words, names, and even how to behave in public. Mercy tries tobr /keep her head down at school so nobody notices her. But when a classmatebr /frames her for stealing the school’s raffle money, Mercy’s teachers decide tobr /take a closer look at her home life.br /Along comes Mr. Singh, who rents the back cottage of the house onbr /Hodson Road. When he takes Mercy to visit a statue in the middle of thebr /city, she learns that the shy, nervous “Mohandas” he tells stories about isbr /actually Gandhi, who spent a cold and lonely night in the waiting room ofbr /the Pietermaritzburg train station over a hundred years earlier. It markedbr /the beginning of his life’s quest for truth, and the visit to his statue marksbr /Mercy’s realization that she needs?justbr /like Gandhi?tobr /stand up forbr /herself.br /Mercy needs a miracle. But to summon that miracle, she has to find herbr /voice and tell the truth?andbr /that truth is neither pure nor simple.
