"This is an interesting read, especially given the recent negotiations between Armenia and Turkey.
As an Armenian, I was very interested in reading this book and learning more about the Armenian genocide. I found the book to be a bit slow during the first half, but absolutely compelling during the second half. The accounts of the genocide presented in the book are haunting and disturbing, and leaves me urging to tell others of this lost but important piece of history."
"A deeply moving book on several levels: It is the coming of age story of an suburban Armenian-American young man as he learns about the horrors his grandparents and grandparents endured in 1915, horrors they sought to bury and even forget, and the book brings to a new generation of Americans the chilling eye-witness accounts of 1915 that awakened the author's awareness."
"A must read! In the famous words of Hitler: "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" He employed the denial of these tragic events to justify the continued destruction of the Jews during his dictatorship.
This book further explores the repercussions of international denial of these events. Every individual should know about the horrible events that occurred and how, even nearly a hundred years later, the fact that America continues to deny these events haunts the lives of those that survived."
Kirkus, 04/01/1997 "An essential American story of the author's upbringing as the child of Armenian immigrants....A rare work of seasoned introspection, haunting beauty, and high moral seriousness."
