What happened to the Armenians doesn't get much play, so it is good to know there is literature out there, even if some of it is two-dimensional.dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-70281889963573462712010-09-10T15:32:20.564-04:002010-09-10T15:32:20.564-04:00I was hoping for a resounding yes to the question ...I was hoping for a resounding yes to the question of whether you loved the book or not.

It would be a new area of history for me, and it sounds like it also a really emotion laden read.

I had it sitting on the TBR shelves, but I really didn't have much interest in reading it.

I thought it worked really well. I really loved this book.<br /><br />And Jackie, I haven't read many WWI books at all so don't listen to me (heh) but I really liked the play on memories and the fact that it focused on the Armenian genocide rather than WWI itself. So might be different than others?
