Hard by a Great Forest

A stand-out literary debut from an original new voice, following the fortunes of three surviving family members returning from the UK to the former-Soviet republic of Georgia. Arriving in a city he has not seen for more than two decades, where escaped zoo animals prowl the streets and the voices of those left behind beckon him along a path of cryptic clues, Saba embarks on a quest that will lead him into the heart of a lost homeland.
