NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Flight
Attendant, here is a sweeping historical love story that probes the
depths of love, family, and secrets amid the Armenian Genocide during
WWI. When Elizabeth Endicott arrives in Aleppo, Syria, she has a
diploma from Mount Holyoke, a crash course in nursing, and only the
most basic grasp of the Armenian language. It’s 1915, and Elizabeth
has volunteered to help deliver food and medical aid to refugees of
the Armenian Genocide during the First World War. There she meets
Armen, a young Armenian engineer who has already lost his wife and
infant daughter. After leaving Aleppo and traveling into Egypt to join
the British Army, he begins to write Elizabeth letters, realizing that
he has fallen in love with the wealthy young American. Years later,
their American granddaughter, Laura, embarks on a journey back through
her family’s history, uncovering a story of love, loss—and a
wrenching secret that has been buried for generations. Look for Chris
Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!
