Khatia's hair is like a golden crown. Her face is as beautiful as her soul. But her lovely blue eyes cannot see the sky, for she is blind. She can only see the sun. And she knows she can see her best friend, Sosoya Mamaladze, who belives that this is just as promising as being able to see the sun. I See the Sun by Nodar Dumbadze is a book about youth, young love and true friendship. The people in the book come from a far-away little village in Georgia. There is much they can tell the reader about the grief that war brings and the joy of victory. To them the happiness of seeing the sun is not a well-turned phrase but a very real joy of being able to breathe freely in a free land.
