Zabelle

Nancy Kricorian's first novel is an exuberant and magical tale of an Armenian woman's life, spanning from childhood in Ottoman Turkey to grandmotherhood in modern America. In vivid, poetic prose, Zabelle recounts the story of a lively heroine whose ordinary life is infused with the ghosts and memories of her extraordinary past.

First sentence: I remember what it was to be child-you see the world in pieces.
