Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Meet Jacob ? aka Sparrow ? a boy slave in a brothel in the Spanish city of New Carthage in the last years of pagan Rome. His story is as much for readers who were moved by A Little Life, Room and Shuggie Bain as those fascinated by The Silence of the Girls and I, Claudius.
MoreLong description:
As an empire burns, he will rise from the ashes.
Sparrow, the Sunday Times bestselling historical epic by James Hynes, is the incredibly moving story of one boy?s journey to freedom in the harsh world of the Roman Empire.
A small town at the edge of a dying empire.
A slave boy raised in a brothel, with no known identity or origin.
Sparrow?s world consists of a kitchen and herb-scented garden, a loud and dangerous tavern, and the mysterious upstairs where the wolves, the women who have shaped his world, conduct their business. Where freedom is only for a privileged few, Sparrow?s life is hard-edged and violent.
But change is coming.
The world outside his garden is about to be reshaped, and as an empire crumbles, murder and mayhem will come to Sparrow?s door. As the only family he?s ever known scatters, will Sparrow fall ? or fly?
