Compelling and interesting characters, an important history brought to life. The tragic story of the Armenian genocide told from Turkish and Armenian perspectives, by two families whose lives and destinies are intertwined as they deal with deportation and murder, the government promotion of hate and intolerance. Very relevant to current happenings in the 21st century.
