Reviews"Chris Bohjalian is at his very finest in this searing story of love and war. I was mesmerized from page one. Bravo!" -Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife "In his latest novel, master storyteller Chris Bohjalian explores the ways in which our ancestral past informs our contemporary lives--in ways we understand and ways that remain mysteriously out of reach. The Sandcastle Girls is deft, layered, eye-opening, and riveting. I was deeply moved." -Wally Lamb, author of The Hour I First Believed "Bohjalian's powerful novel . . . depicts the Armenian genocide and one contemporary novelist's quest to uncover her heritage. . . . His storytelling makes this a beautiful, frightening, and unforgettable read." - Publishers Weekly "An unforgettable exposition of the still too-little-known facts of the Armenian genocide and its multigenerational consequences." -Kirkus (starred) "A powerful and moving story based on real events seldom discussed. It will leave you reeling." - Elizabeth Dickie, Booklist
