I went to the province and then found the village, which used to be a Catholic village.
“I do a lot of world travel, I think, for someone with two children, and this is probably the most emotional, poignant trip I’ve ever taken. “I went over there with some really old maps,” Ohanesian said. The author did a lot of on-site research in Anatolia. Orhan’s quest to find her and get her to sign the house back, and figure out why his grandfather left it to her, leads him back 100 years, to the genocide. The house itself was left to an elderly woman with an Armenian name, Seda Melkonian, who lives in Los Angeles. Her protagonist, Orhan Turkoglu, is a young Turkish man from dusty, ancient Anatolia who inherits his grandfather’s business, to the rage of his father, who was passed over. So I thought, what do I have to say about this that hasn’t already been said, in fiction? What can I add?” “I gravitate to dark things,” she admitted. Ohanesian has read all the novels written about the Armenian genocide.
