(Starred review.) Ohanesian’s heartrending debut chronicles the painful odyssey of one family against the broader backdrop of the Armenian genocide.... Ohanesian does a remarkable job of conveying the weight and the influence of time and place without excusing or excluding the human dimension that necessarily factors into the unfolding cataclysm.
Booklist
Unforgettable.... Drawing on the stories her Armenian great-grandmother told her, Ohanesian brings to life a painful, tragic history unfamiliar to most Americans (Editor's Pick).
Library Journal
(Starred review.) A harrowing tale of unimaginable sacrifice.... A novel that delves into the darkest corners of human history and emerges with a tenuous sense of hope.
