“A Constellation of Vital Phenomena is ambitious and intellectually restless…. “Extraordinary….a 21st century War and Peace ….Marra seems to derive his astral calm in the face of catastrophe directly from Tolstoy.”- Madison Smartt Bell, New York Times Book Review At the risk of raising your expectations too high, I have to say you simply must read this book.”- Ron Charles, Washington Post “A flash in the heavens that makes you look up and believe in miracles….Here, in fresh, graceful prose, is a profound story that dares to be as tender as it is ghastly, a story about desperate lives in a remote land that will quickly seem impossibly close and important….I haven’t been so overwhelmed by a novel in years. Though Sonja protests that her hospital is not an orphanage, Akhmed convinces her to keep Havaa for a trial, and over the course of five extraordinary days, Sonja’s world will shift on its axis and reveal the intricate pattern of connections that weaves together the pasts of these three unlikely companions and unexpectedly decides their fate. Akhmed knows getting involved means risking his life, and there is no safe place to hide a child in a village where informers will do anything for a loaf of bread, but for reasons of his own, he sneaks her through the forest to the one place he thinks she might be safe: an abandoned hospital where the sole remaining doctor, Sonja Rabina, treats the wounded. “On the morning after the Feds burned down her house and took her father, Havaa woke from dreams of sea anemones.” Havaa, eight years old, hides in the woods and watches the blaze until her neighbor, Akhmed, discovers her sitting in the snow. Two doctors risk everything to save the life of a hunted child in this majestic debut about love, loss, and the unexpected ties that bind us together.
