Title: An important story
Product review: I am so grateful to author Thea Halo for putting down in words the tragedy that her mother endured as a young child in Asia Minor. My grandmother's own childhood was shattered by similar events, when she fled from the Ottoman Army as they burned her home town to the ground. I'd listened to her horrific tales of survival my whole life countered with the denial of the Turkish government. When genocide is 'swept under the carpet', it's just a matter of time before the same tragic history repeats itself.Now Ms. Halo has enabled the reader to truly grasp the scale of this tragedy by interspersing Themia's sad personal story with her very thorough research.I found this book to be haunting, yet inspiring.
