Klappentext zu „Constellation of Vital Phenomena “
*** Granta Best of Young American Novelists 2017 ***In a snow-covered village in Chechnya, eight-year-old Havaa watches from the woods as her father is abducted in the middle of the night by Russian soldiers. Their life-long friend and neighbour, Akhmed, has also been watching, and when he finds Havaa he knows of only one person who might be able to help.
For tough-minded doctor Sonja Rabina, it's just another day of trying to keep her bombed-out, abandoned hospital going. When Akhmed arrives with Havaa, asking Sonja for shelter, she has no idea who the pair are. But over the course of five extraordinary days, Sonja's world will shift on its axis, revealing the intricate pattern of connections that binds these three unlikely companions together and unexpectedly decides their fate.

Marra is a magnificent writer" -- Vanora Bennett The Times "50 Best Spring Reads" Independent "A powerful tale... rivals anything Michael Ondaatje has written in its emotional force" -- John Freeman Boston Globe "a book of violence and beauty, and the undisputed arrival of a major new talent" Globe and Mail, Canada
