A review by kdhanda
Orhan's Inheritance by Aline Ohanesian

4.0

Timely topic: the 100th anniversary of the Armenian atrocities by the Turkish army. The author presents this topic through the viewpoint of a surviving Armenian but does so in a rather balanced manner. Orhan, a young Turkish man, wants to fulfill the last wishes of his grandfather and this journey leads him to Seda, an old Armenian woman. As the novel unfolds, we find out about the connection between Orhan and Seda. A haunting tale, well written.
