Zabelle af Nancy Kricorian.

En armensk pige overlever, som den eneste af hendes famile, det armenske folkemord. Hun ender med at blive giftet bort til en ældre armensk herre i USA.

Der har hun daglige kampe med hendes svigermor, og kæmper for at få en smule personlig frihed.

Jeg er lidt forbløffet over at en historie der i høj grad handler om husarbejde og andre kvindelige sysler fastholdt min interesse og at jeg endte med at syntes ganske godt om bogen.
