"This was undeniably hard to read due to subject matter, but it's worth it. It's the kind of thing we SHOULD read, so we never forget, and never repeat. Highly recommended."
"Story of an Armenian family and their friends during the 1915 Armenian genocide. Very heartwrenching--but a bit of redemption in the end. (If there can be any redemption among such a horrible event.)"
