Anthony Marra’s exquisite debut novel, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, is about the transcendent power of love in wartime. When first published in May 2013, it became an instant New York Times bestseller—and later won the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize, and was longlisted for the National Book Award. It was selected by the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association as best fiction book of 2013. Marra sets the story in contemporary Chechnya, which has endured a series of devastating wars, occupations, and insurgencies that began in 1994 and have only recently subsided.
