“It felt way more than 100 odd pages. It felt rambly. Interesting new piece of history for me though that I wasn’t aware of, especially as I’ve recently been traveling around the Caucasus.”

“This was fascinating. I didn’t know much about the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict going into this book, but I definitely feel educated and inspired to learn more about it. The writing style took some getting used to, but I really enjoyed the storytelling and the political themes invoked. It’s sad to think that the author underwent such hardships at the hand of the Azerbaijani government after publishing this novel, but I think that makes it all the more important for us to share his work.
Favorite Quote: These come and kill, then those come and kill. If at least one candle were lit for every Armenian killed violently, the light of these candles would be brighter than that of the moon. The Armenians have endured everything, the only thing that they have never wanted to compromise on is their faith. This people, continually destroyed and tormented by oppressors, has never stopped building churches, writing books, and raising their hands to the sky, invoking their God.”
