Anthony Marra's acclaimed 2013 debut novel, a powerful story set during the Chechen Wars (late 1990s-2000s) in the war-torn city of Grozny, focusing on interconnected lives, survival, love, memory, and the search for identity amidst brutal conflict, particularly through the perspectives of a hunted young girl, a doctor, and a man trying to save them, humanizing a lesser-known war with deep emotional resonance and lyrical prose. The title itself comes from a medical definition of life (organization, irritability, growth, reproduction, adaptation, movement) and mirrors the novel's structure.
