The author of 14 books, most of them taking place in his native New England, Bohjalian has now written a novel whose narrative shifts between Aleppo, Syria, in 1915, and Bronxville, New York, in 2012. Described as a sweeping historical love story steeped in the author's Armenian heritage, "The Sandcastle Girls" is the author's most personal novel to date.
