Intelligent and compassionate, this brilliant debut novel is at once unique and universal (Amy Tan). After witnessing the slaughter of her family and many of her people, a young Armenian woman emigrates to America, where she inadvertently infuses her only daughter with a crippling legacy of anger, shame, and a survivor's guilt.

Gar oo chugar. There was and there was not. This is the Armenian "once upon a time." When Casard managed to eventually make her way to the U.S., met an Armenian from Russia and settled down in Memorial, Connecticut. She had a daughter named Araxie who shamefully married an orad, an outsider, an Episcopalian. They had three children, one of which is our story teller, Seta. Through her eyes we see the drama and scars felt by Casard and passed on through the girls of her family.
The strength and stubbornness of Casard is matched by her son-in-law, George, who quietly accepted her disdain but still adored and supported his family. Not one of the primary characters, I still had to admire his commitment to his family.
This was an interesting story which introduced me to a group of people I am woefully ignorant - the Armenians. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy stories of families and unusual culture. ( )
