A miniature epic that explores the mad savagery of war with biting black comedy, and takes us into the dark heart of a strange and surreal conflict.
As soldiers, priests and scavengers roam a battle-scorched landscape, a young medical officer finds herself abandoned and useless, unable to locate the hospital or even the war she was promised.

'a sharp satire with an irresistibly silly strain... zany humour and inspired wordplay' - Financial Times
'Surreally humorous, and perceptive about the mindlessness of conflict' - Evening Standard
