The father land

Rooted (Five, 12noon)
Zabel flies with her Armenian-born father to his native country,
first sightseeing in the capital, Yerevan, and then staying with
a family in a mountain village. She enjoys dancing at a welcoming
supper and making bread, but, as she learns about Armenian culture at
a Sunday school in London, there are few surprises. What does leave a
more powerful impression is the contrast between her own middle-class
comfort and the poverty she witnesses.
