An unforgettable, deeply affecting tribute to the powers of imagination and the resilience of childhood, "The Blue Notebook" tells the story of Batuk, a precocious 15-year-old girl from rural India who was sold into sexual slavery by her father when she was nine. As she navigates the grim realities of the Common Street--a street of prostitution in Mumbai where children are kept in cages as they wait for customers to pay for sex--Batuk manages to put pen to paper, recording her private thoughts and stories in a diary. The novel is powerfully told in Batuk's voice, through the words she writes in her journal, where she finds hope and beauty in the bleakest circumstances. AnnotationBritish doctor James Levine, while working for humanitarian causes in India, was struck by the image of a teenage Mumbai prostitute writing in her journal on the street. After interviewing several of the child prostitutes working on the "street of cages," he began to write THE BLUE NOTEBOOK, a harrowing yet deeply human tale of a nine-year-old girl, Batuk, who is sold into slavery by her father and faces six years of cruel dehumanizing work in India's sprawling child-sex industry. The notebook of the title is the one Batuk writes in, reminiscing about her childhood in the countryside, and describing her stoic attempts to maintain her humanity in the face of constant abuse. Levine has pledged to donate all his profits from the novel to organizations trying to end child prostitution, and so THE BLUE NOTEBOOK works as a riveting tale, eye-opening research, and a good cause.
