Cuando bailan las luciérnagas

On the outskirts of Lahore, a large moon hangs in the sky as a group of men arrive with dogs, guns, and cricket bats. In front of his family's small cabin, perched on the edge of a towering brick kiln, Lalloo's brother is murdered. Unable to escape the memory of that night, Lalloo's parents and sisters remain trapped. Smoke billows from the kiln's chimney as the family is enslaved, brick by brick, to pay off their debts. To rescue them from this situation, Lalloo must break free from his past and forge his own destiny. This is a story about family, friendship, and the trials one may face to save loved ones. It's hard to believe it's a debut novel; Aisha Hassan masterfully crafts a plot with endearing characters, brimming with action, emotionally resonant moments that leave you on the verge of tears, and the enduring hope that things can change.
