Mark Your Calendar! One Book/One Glendale to Present Sandcastle Girls by
Chris Bohjalian on Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 7 pm at Glendale
Central Library Main Floor, 222 East Harvard Street, Glendale, CA
91205. Admission is Free.
Sandcastle Girls is a story about the Armenian Genocide
and its century-long
denial by Turkey . The novel
includes two stories in one: the story of Elizabeth Endicott and Armen
Petrosian, lovers who meet in Syria during the genocide; and the story
of Laura Petrosian, their granddaughter, who after a century tries to
understand why they were so silent about their youth, while her suburban
existence is quite different from the violent setting in which her
grandparents fell in love.
Chris Bohjalian is the author of seventeen books, including his
forthcoming novel, Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands (arriving July 8, 2014).
He also wrote such New York Times bestsellers as The Light in the Ruins,
The Sandcastle Girls, The Night Strangers, Secrets of Eden, Skeletons at
the Feast, The Double Bind, Before You Know Kindness, The Law of
Similars, and Midwives. His books have been chosen as Best Books of the
Year by the Washington Post, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Hartford
Courant, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, Bookpage,
and Salon.
His awards for The Sandcastle Girls includes the ANCA Arts and Letters
Award, as well as the Saint Mesrob Mashdots Medal and the New England
Society Book Award. For The Night Strangers his awards includes the New
England Book Award, a Boston Public Library Literary Light Award, a
finalist for the Lambda Literary Award and the Anahid Literary Award.
His novel, Midwives, was a number one New York Times bestseller, a
selection of Oprah's Book Club, and a New England Booksellers
Association Discovery pick. He has written for a wide variety of
magazines, including Cosmopolitan, the Washington Post, and the Boston
Globe, and has been a Sunday columnist for Gannett's Burlington Free
Press since 1992. Chris graduated from Amherst College, and lives in
Vermont with his wife and daughter.
Hope To See You All!
