Bakhita: a novel of the Saint of Sudan

Sold and resold along the slave trade routes, Bakhita endures years of unspeakable abuse and terror.

At age thirteen, at last, her life takes a turn when the Italian consul in Khartoum purchases her.

A few years later, as chaos engulfs the capital, the consul returns to Italy, taking Bakhita with him.

In this new land, another long and arduous journey begins - one that leads her onto a spiritual path for which she is still revered today.
