Fearing for her life, she flees with their neighbor Akhmed--a failed physician--to the bombed-out hospital, where Sonja, the one remaining doctor, treats a steady stream of wounded rebels and refugees and mourns her missing sister. Over the course of five dramatic days, Akhmed and Sonja reach back into their pasts to unravel the intricate mystery of coincidence, betrayal, and forgiveness that unexpectedly binds them and decides their fate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review, Chicago Tribune, \u003c\/i\u003eNPR, \u003ci\u003eKansas City Star, San Francisco Chronicle, The Christian Science Monitor, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Marra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0770436420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780770436421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hogarth Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.08h x 5.37w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Dayton Literary Peace Prize - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/10\/2014 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/16\/2014 pg. 28","brand":"Anthony Marra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059682046207,"sku":"9780770436421","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_964acd8e-2738-4df0-a54d-33101a44580b.jpg?v=1685059701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-constellation-of-vital-phenomena-anthony-marra-9780770436421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
