Orphaned by the Adana massacre in 1909, Mariam and her
siblings, together with their friend Kevork and his aunt, travel home
to Marash hoping to find their remaining family still alive. Six years
later, when the teens face deportation from Turkey, they are torn apart
despite their best efforts to stay together. One thing sustains them
throughout their horrifying ordeals -- the hope that they might one day
be reunited.
A sequel to the highly successful The
Hunger,
Nobody's
Child is a stirring and engaging story set during the Armenian
Genocide, one of the twentieth century's most significant events.
