About this listen
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 lifelong 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 and even less desire to take on yet more responsibilities and risk. 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.

Points for research but not much to enjoy
Long, confusing and pretentious, this was hard going and the performer’s use of accents was unnecessary. Many metaphors - and there were very many - were either obscure confusing or simply meaningless, coming across as failed attempts to be poetic and literary. If the publisher had employed a good editor it could have been a great novel. As it stands, it’s a missed opportunity.

A moving story about the horrors of war
A well written story that traces the generations through their war torn country.
The triumph of love and compassion over adversity.
