The Edge of the World - Paperback

by Marcella Polain (Author)

A powerful, monumental story of an Armenian family, this account spans 100 years, five countries, and several generations. A family fragmented by genocide, exile and emigration, but which, through extraordinary acts of courage and compassion, is eventually brought together again--albeit utterly changed.
