ONE OF THE BOSTON GLOBE'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEARA love story about what it means to be an outsider from the most imaginative new voice in international fiction. In 1980s Yugoslavia a young Muslim girl is married off to a man she hardly knows but what was meant to be a happy match goes quickly wrong. Soon thereafter her country is torn apart by war and she and her family flee. Years later her son Bekim grows up a social outcast in present-day Finland not just an immigrant in a country suspicious of foreigners but a gay man in an unaccepting society. Aside from casual hookups his only friend is a boa constrictor whom improbably--he is terrified of snakes--he lets roam his apartment. Then during a visit to a gay bar Bekim meets a talking cat who moves in with him and his snake. It is this witty charming manipulative creature who starts Bekim on a journey back to Kosovo to confront his demons and make sense of the magical cruel incredible history of his family. And it is this that in turn enables him finally to open himself to true love--which he will find in the most unexpected place.
