Beloved author and winner of The Story Prize, Paul Yoon (The Hive and the Honey, Snow Hunters), is back with the unforgettable story of a working dog, Etna, who, after a devastating war, embarks on an odyssey in the hopes of returning home. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by The New York Times, Time, and LitHub and a Best Book of the Summer by Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, and Scary Mommy, Etna is a novel about the power of an idea, about never giving up, and ultimately, a novel about finding hope in the most dire of times.
