Berlin, the last days of the war, waiting for the Russians to invade. Vera and her husband Axel, with the help of a few Slavic labourers try to keep the animals alive while bombs, food shortages and the waves of retreating and invading armies take from those who remain. The book is not about the animals or the zoo, it is about Vera and Axel. The book is an exploration of truth. Normal people placed in an abnormal situation trying to act normally when fear and uncertainty act to censor their thoughts, language and actions.
