A National Book Awards Longlist SelectionA Ny Times and Washington Post bestsellerA tale of the power of love-in wartime, A Constellation of Essential Phenomena is just a function of serious empathy, significant width, and long-term importance.   Two physicians risk anything to truly save the life span of the child within this introduction about love, loss, and the ties that bind us together. Until her friend, Akhmed, finds her sitting in the snow “On the morning-after the Feds got her dad and burnt down her home, Havaa woke from dreams of ocean anemones.” Havaa, eight yrs old, covers in the woods and watches the fire. Akhmed understands finding concerned means endangering his life, and there's no safe place to full cover up a young child in a town where informers is going to do something for a loaf of bread, but for reasons of their own, he sneaks her through the woodland towards the one place he thinks she may be safe: an abandoned clinic where the only outstanding physician, Sonja Rabina, treats the injured.
