Kricorian, Nancy Zabelle
New York, New York, U.S.A. Bard Press / Avon 1999 0380732114 / 9780380732111 Trade Paperback Fine
Fine condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. NO writing, marks or tears. 241 pages. Very-slight page-tanning. Synopsis As Zabelle's family assembles for her funeral in present-day Massachusetts, it becomes clear that her children hardly knew her. But as this alternatively comic and heartbreaking novel unfolds—beginning with Zabelle's survival of the 1915 Armenian Genocide in Turkey and her subsequent emigration to America for an arranged marriage—an unforgettable character emerges. Library Journal Zabelle Chahasbanian, the seventysomething matriarch of an Armenian-American family, is dead. Her children gather to plan her funeral. What was special about Ma, they wonder. It is clear that at least they know nothing of the extraordinary life of this "ordinary" woman, her struggles and her dreams. They do not know much of the annihilation of her family in her homeland during her childhood or of her survival and emigration to the United States as the bride of a man she had only seen in a photograph. They know only the barest facts about her friendship with Arsinee, a spunky, irreverent woman who was Zabelle's lifelong mainstay. They know nothing of her poignant romance with a man named Moses. So what was special about Ma? Plenty. This first novel is a tender portrait of family, friendship, and love. Highly recommended.Kay Hogan, Univ. of Alabama Lib., Birmingham
