Description
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Yugoslavia's 1980s, this novel tells the story of Emine, a young Muslim girl forced into marriage. As her country teeters on the brink of war, she flees with her family, setting in motion a chain of events that will shape the life of her son Bekim decades later.
Bekim's journey takes him from his struggles as an immigrant and gay man in Finland to a surprising encounter with a talking cat. This enigmatic creature sets Bekim on a path back to Kosovo, where he must confront the dark history of his family and find love in the process.
