more awesome reviews for Daughter of War and one more for Aram

There have been several lovely reviews for Daughter of War this week. Here are some quotes:

“Daughter of War is a deftly written historical fiction novel, sure to enthrall readers with a story set amid events that truly happened. A top pick”

— Internet Bookwatch

“…a powerful sequel to her 2003 novel, Nobody’s Child…“

“The award-winning Skrypuch bases her story on first-hand accounts of the Armenian genocide. While sections of this novel are disturbing, they also chronicle acts of kindness and compassion and an enduring love story between the two young people.”

— Helen Norrie, Winnipeg Free Press

“The carefully structured narrative … yield[s] a sense of the epic; readers will feel that they have been on Kevork’s journey with him, across the deserts and through the concentration camps in his quest to find Marta. The smells of the bazaars and graphic images from death marches and concentration camps root the story in the particulars of time and place.”

— Kirkus

And a few weeks ago there was this:

“Told from multiple points of view, this novel is really two stories. One is the story of the genocide. The other is the story of two young people battling frightening conditions to reunite and build a life together.

Marta’s and Kevork’s compelling stories drive the reader through the novel. They are strong, evolving protagonists and you care about them.”

— Heather Wright, Guelph Mercury

And Aram’s Choice just got a lovely one too:

“Short chapters, appealing full-color artwork, and well researched back matter make this a good choice for readers interested in past humanitarian efforts.”
