When the Sky is Ready The Stars will appear

When the Sky is Ready The Stars Shall

Appear is a compelling tale of a young man's journey

towards Rome in search of a better life.

The yearnings of a young and restless orphan are ignited

when an enigmatic drifter named Bros returns to Gulu

Station from Rome, laden with gifts and the allure of other

places. The orphan longs for escape too, for life to have

meaning and so the whole village can look up to him.

When soldiers from the Seven Men Army descend on Gulu

Station scouting for recruits, the young men of the village

must face conscription or flee. Armed with little more than

stories told to him by Bros, the narrator takes his first step

towards realising his dreams. But how prepared is he for

the perils of the desert and the sea that lies between him

and Rome?.
