Horror for Newbies
Ana asked this question about Three Apples Fell from the Sky:
I just started reading this book, and I like it: the style, the story, characters. What bothers me a bit is that I cannot figure out what period of time this story is going on? when there is a war, which war? Is this in Soviet era? or is it before? can somebody answer this question please?
Patricia I agree with Tony. I think it starts with the Bolsheviks (first generation), they also mention the massacre, which I think is the Armenian genocide by…moreI agree with Tony. I think it starts with the Bolsheviks (first generation), they also mention the massacre, which I think is the Armenian genocide by the Ottoman government in WWI and the war they mention (after the famine) is WWII.
They talk about different people going north and emmigrating to more prosperous places (USA between the wars, Russia, where probably Nastasya is from) etc...
If Anatolia is just under 60 when the story starts, I would say the novel ends in around the early 70s.(less)
