People ... war is HELL - on everybody - but most especially on civilians. Anthony Marra focuses his story on the survival of the citizens of Chechnya, in particular, 1 village. In particular, 1 little girl and the man who tries to save her. The author grabs a hold of me and never lets go, and let me tell you, I wanted to look away. Even as he's telling the story of Havaa, Akhmed and Sonja, he's giving us a detailed picture of the desolation, the isolation, the ravages and the savages of the war.
