About Etna by Paul Yoon

Set in a fictional country in the present day, Etna follows a former military dog after years of devastating war. One night, Etna leaves the men he has fought alongside and sets out toward the place where he was taken from as a young dog, hoping it might still offer a way home.

His journey crosses ruined landscapes where survival remains precarious even in peacetime. Along the way, he encounters people and animals trying to begin again. Told through a dog's perspective, the novel considers what home can mean after loss, and how trust and hope might take root in its aftermath.

This is a fitting choice for readers interested in literary fiction about the consequences of war, animal-centered storytelling, and the difficult work of starting over.
