A review by dllh
Orhan's Inheritance by Aline Ohanesian

3.0

I liked this one but didn't love it. If I had ever heard about the Armenian genocide that began in 1915, I had sure forgotten it, so I was glad to read a book dramatizing that nasty bit of history. I found nothing really objectionable about the writing in this book -- it went down easily and was pleasant enough to read -- but it also didn't knock my socks off. At times I suppose the pace seemed a little sluggish, which is weird in what turns out to be a pretty short book (it's shorter than the page count suggests). I'm glad I read it but was not so captivated that I'm likely to read it again or go out of my way to watch for more by this author.
