By Henri Verneuil

With all the poignancy of a man at his mother's deathbed, holding fast to her hand and reflecting on the story that will no longer be theirs but his alone, Henri Verneuil begins the journey back to a childhood lovingly remembered.

It is an odyssey that takes us not only through time but through the complex landscape of relationships and emotional milestones in which the young Achod Malakian grew into manhood.

The steamer to France, the search for a place to live, a poor man's summer vacation, looking for work, the nightmare of school, these are only some of the places this story will take you. It tells a universal tale of all men and women who, one way or another, are exiled and reborn, heartbroken and hopeful, defeated and triumphant.

This is a second edition of a must have book for any Armenian home library.
