Irakli Kakabadze’s latest book is an attempt to view the Russo-Georgian war in Abkhazia from a completely new perspective. The book’s narrator is a fourteen-year-old boy who is being brought up by his grandparents in the town of Gantiadi. It is this boy who describes the unending series of dramatic and tragic events, and yet not once do we hear his own voice in the novel: he is merely the observer and the transmitter of the words of others – the actor providing the voice-over. As the war starts to intrude on family life, the boy’s grandparents decide to take their grandchild out of the conflict zone and move him to a place of safety. Day by day, the chances of them successfully carrying out their plan diminish.

The novel was published by Dedalus Publishing House with the support of Writers' House of Georgia in 2020.
 

The book was translated into Turkish by Parna-Beka Chilashvili.

The turkish translation of the novel entered the list of Turkish bookstore chain – "Pandora's" bestsellers in 2020.
