    "description": "<p><strong>Longlisted for the National Book Award 2013</strong></p>\n<p>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.</p>\n<p>For tough-minded doctor Sonja Rabina, it&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p>\n<p><strong><em>'A Constellation of Vital Phenomena</em> is simply spectacular' Ann Patchett</strong></p>",
