Author Description

Micheline Aharonian Marcom's acclaimed debut, Three Apples Fell From Heaven, was a New York Times Notable Book, a Los Angeles Times and Washington Post Best Book of the Year, and an "intensely poetic" (Washington Post Book World) novel praised for both its beautiful prose and the casual candor with which it depicted the horrors of 1915-1917 Armenian genocide. Her follow-up, dealing with the persistent emotional aftermath of the genocide, likewise has earned extraordinary praise for its fluid prose and haunting imagery, which articulate the painfully clear and brutal memories of the destruction of a people.
