An enjoyable, easy to read novel that tries to put too much into too few pages. This debut work is a love story, a war story, a story of familial secrets and a tale of historical truths. With the tale going back and forth in time between 1915 and 1990, the plot hinges on a home in a small village in Turkey and who the rightful owners are-the Armenian family who originally owned it or or the Turks who took it over after the Armenians fled during the genocide.
