The burning heart of the world : a novel
Nancy Kricorian (Author)
"Nancy Kricorian's The Burning Heart of the World tells the epic story of an Armenian family's experience of war and exile, from the mountains of Cilicia and the streets of Beirut to contemporary New York City. In vivid, poetic prose, Nancy Kricorian's The Burning Heart of the World tells the story of a Beirut Armenian family before, during, and after the Lebanese Civil War. Returning to the fabular tone of Zabelle, her popular first novel, Kricorian conjures up the lost worlds and intergenerational traumas that haunt a family in permanent exile. Leavened with humor and imbued with the timelessness of a folktale, The Burning Heart of the World is a sweeping saga that takes readers on an epic journey from the mountains of Cilicia to contemporary New York City"-- Provided by publisher
