"I wish I could find the right words to describe the emotions I had throughout this wonderful read. Soon, the Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day is coming, and this is such a great and deeply touching book about what our people have endured.

"Wow this just about knocked my lungs out by the end despite being a compact novel. Clear, straightforward prose serves the material well as the story is painful and tragic and focused on all the ways human beings can brutalize one another. This warra"

“This world is made of darkness and light, my girl, and in the darkest times you have to believe the sun will come again, even if you yourself don't live to see it.”

“On good days I felt like a chrysalis from which a butterfly had emerged, and on bad days I felt like a chewing-gum wrapper someone had thrown in the hedges.”

“She couldn't help it that she felt the suffering of others-kin and strangers, creatures that speak and creatures that can't speak-inside herself, as though the membrane separating her body from the world was thin and porous.”

“One should write only those books from whose absence one suffers. In short: the ones you want on your own desk.”

“I want to find a language that transforms language itself into steel for the spirit--a language to use against these sparkling insects, these jets.”

“I got a number of very thoughtful responses to the email I sent out last night, most of which I don’t have time to respond to right now. Thanks everyone for the encouragement, questions, criticism. Daniel’s response was particularly inspiring to me and deserves to be shared. The resistance of Israeli Jewish people to the occupation and the enormous risk taken by those refusing to serve in the Israeli military offers an example, especially for those of us living in the United States, of how to behave when you discover that atrocities are being commited in your name. Thank you.”
