While looking for books suitable for a reading challenge, the title of this book caught my eye. While I'm not completely sure if I'll enjoy the story or not, I want to give it a try.
"In 1980's Yugoslavia, a young girl named Emine is married off to a man she hardly knows. But soon her country is torn apart by war, and she is forced to flee with her family.
Decades later, Emine's son, Bekim, has grown up a social outcast in a country suspicious of foreigners. Aside from a causal hookups, his only companion is a pet boa constrictor - until one night in a gay bar, Bekim meets a talking cat. It's this witty, charming, manipulative creature that starts him on a journey back to Kosovo to confront his demons and make sense of the remarkable, cruel history of his family. And soon he learns that love can be found in the most unexpected of places."
