Publisher's Synopsis
In a small, tranquil village in Pakistan, where life is simple but steeped in rigid orthodoxy, a boy named Bitto dares to do what no one else would: question the very foundations of faith. In a society where blind belief reigns supreme and the courage to seek answers is stifled, Bitto embarks on an extraordinary journey of discovery.
From the dusty streets of his village to the grand cities of far-off lands, Bitto dives deep into the world's great religions-Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and beyond-immersing himself in sacred texts, philosophies, and rituals. Along the way, he transforms, shedding old beliefs and embracing new ones, challenging the conventions of every culture and community he encounters.
But seeking the truth comes at a cost. Bitto's relentless quest for the divine draw's ire and alienation from those around him. With every step, he offends the orthodox, unsettles the faithful, and disrupts the norms of society. Yet through it all, Bitto remains undeterred, driven by an insatiable desire to unearth the essence of divinity and uncover what it truly means to live a life of faith-or to reject it entirely.
The Devil's God is a bold, transformative tale of courage, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening. It challenges conventions, explores the depths of human belief, and ultimately asks: what does it mean to find the divine in a world that fears questioning it?
