Books like Three apples fell from heaven by Micheline Aharonian Marcom


Set against the backdrop of the Ottoman Turkish government’s brutal campaign that killed over a million Armenians between 1915 and 1923, this novel follows a diverse array of lives. Anaguil, an Armenian girl taken in by Turkish neighbors after her parents’ death, views her world through a Muslim veil; Sargis, a poet hidden in his mother’s attic, wears women's clothing and descends into madness; Lucine serves as a lover to the American consul; Maritsa, a Muslim wife, becomes a prostitute; and Dickran, an infant left under a tree during an exodus from an Armenian village, reaches for the stars and dies unnamed. Through these perspectives, the novel portrays the gradual vanishing of an entire people.
