Description:

In Istanbul, nineteen-year-old Asya Kazanci lives in a household of eccentric women, the men in her family having mysteriously died young for generations. Her life intersects with Armanoush, an Armenian-American searching for her roots in Turkey, drawn by her family's painful memories of the 1915 Armenian Genocide. As the two young women's stories intertwine, a long-buried family secret surfaces, forcing both families to confront a shared, tragic history neither fully understood.
