For those of you who know your history, this novel/memoir rings true; it tells a compelling story with evocative details from a fresh perspective. For those of you who are not versed in the heinous crimes perpetrated by the Ottoman and Young Turks against the Armenians, Pontic Greeks and other non-Muslim minorities of the greater Anatolian region from 1915-1923 (o.k., let's call it what it was: the 20th Century's First Genocide), this book is an excellent primer on these dark pages in history, shedding light on the barbarism that led up to it as well and on the sinister attempts at denial and revisionist history still perpetrated to this day by the descendants of, and government of, "The Sick Man of Europe" (Turkey). The author takes the reader along on the journey of his own discoveries; be prepared for an engaging narrative that combines world history, cultural tradition, personal epiphany, untold suffering, political corruption and a remarkable resilience of a people.Read full review
