Summary
Once upon a time, back when the gods still roamed the earth among mortals, there were two girls.
Gem is born in a country that is devastated by war, that struggles for food, for money, for manpower. Her mother’s houseguests call her serious, call her mature for her age, but it’s not really that. It’s not that she at four-five-six truly understands the gravity of the situation – it’s just that in some inexplicable way she’s already lived through every possible hardship, tasted all the flavours of pain that exist out there.ORGem’s life is a bit of a Greek tragedy, Pearl’s life is not much of a life at all these days. They still find their way to each other in the end
