My Grandmother: A Memoir by Fethiye Çetin

5.0

A short but important read. It stays grounded in real life, never embellishes, and (best of all) gives a true and moving account of an old woman (the titular grandmother) who survived the horrific ordeal of the Armenian Genocide while time continued to pass. Without giving anything away, I thought this account of a Turkish granddaughter and her Armenian grandmother was honest, emotional, and very thoughtful. I would recommend this to anyone, because more people should read accounts of the Genocide and its effect on later generations within and beyond the Diaspora.
