A lyrical, yet harrowing tale of a community destroyed by war. As World War I begins inn Anatolia, a village sees its traditions erode. Christians are pitted against Muslims, young men are brutalized by combat, young women become pawns of their fathers, husbands, and communities.More a series of vignettes than a plotted novel, with over a dozen memorable characters and many indelible images of Greek, Turkish, Muslim and Orthodox life at the turn of the century.
