The Sandcastle Girls by Chris BohjalianMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Reading something new will always grab me. None of my history books covered the genocide of the one and a half million Armenian people in 1915-1916. So terrible it makes today's Syrian refugee crisis seem trivial in comparison. I am looking forward to the Hart Park Book Club discussion on October 20, 2016 (Laurie). I took several pages of notes to keep track of the many characters as they moved in and out of the story. The title doesn't make much sense; and while well researched, I find the writing style a bit fractured. Nevertheless it deserves 4 stars because of the subject matter.
