Hard By a Great Forest by Leo Vardiashvili review – a quest in the wake of Soviet collapse | Fiction

A biblical flood that saw escaped zoo animals wandering the streets of the Georgian capital Tbilisi furnishes the surreal backdrop of Leo Vardiashvili’s debut. A compelling novel about war, family separation and ambivalent homecoming, its tale of sacrifice, guilt and betrayal is propelled by dark mysteries and offset by glorious shafts of humour.“Our mother stayed so we could escape,” narrator Saba confesses.
