The front cover is attractive and the title of the novel itself asks questions - who, what or where is Munmun? That soon becomes apparent as the opening pages offers a scaled drawing of the citizens from lifeanddeathworld - monetary wealth is directly proportionate to your size!

Prayer is our initial guide and her story is immediately heartbreaking. I'm looking forward to the publication of Munmun to discover whether she, and her brother, will manage to escape their impoverished size.
