The book is written as a fictionalized memoir. It is narrated by Nargiz, the last survivor and a medium who is devoted and obliged to remembering her loved ones lost during Armenian genocide-sometimes to the point of seeming obsession. The book is filled with stories of love, betrayal, suspense and miraculous escapes. And, although, true tragedy and romance intermingle within these pages, readers will undoubtedly come away with a much clearer sense of what has come to be known as the Yehern, or, The Catastrophe of Ottoman Armenians during the period of 1915-1922.
