Saba's father is missing, and the trail leads back to Tbilisi, 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.
This is a rare, searching tale of home, memory and sacrifice – of one family's mission to rescue one another, and put the past to rest.
'Hugely impressive' NEW EUROPEAN

'At once a puzzle hunt and an affecting meditation on exile' ECONOMIST
