“The Sandcastle Girls” Genocide novel to be released in Russian

PanARMENIAN.Net - New York Times Best-Selling author Chris Bohjalian’s novel on the Armenian Genocide, “The Sandcastle Girls” will be published in Russian to be released in Moscow.

The initiative was widely supported by the Armenian entrepreneurs in Russia.

The novel has received stellar reviews from dozens of publications nationwide, including the Washington Post, USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Associated Press, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, Entertainment Weekly, and People Magazine. It was announced as the Book of the Week on Oprah.com and is currently seventh on the New York Times Best-Sellers List.

In his 15th book, "The Sandcastle Girls," Bohjalian brings us on a very different kind of journey. The spellbinding tale travels between Aleppo, Syria in 1915 and Bronxville, New York in 2012, telling a sweeping historical love story steeped in the author's Armenian heritage, making it his most personal novel to date.
