October 1895 brought suffering, violence and death to Armenians living in eastern Turkey, the historic homeland of Armenians.
Set off by events in Constantinople in late September, the government's military and paramilitary troops tear through villages, towns, and cities where Armenians live. These systematic 'incidents' lay the foundation for the genocide that will start in earnest twenty years later. As Armenian refugees crowd Erzerum, and a beloved Armenian bishop is deported, a Muslim Army captain and his father shelter their Christian Armenian neighbors-the Kavafian family-from the violence they think will come. The strong friendship between the two families is strained after one of the Kavafian brothers dies a violent death. His widow is left with a tyrannical motherinlaw and unanswered questions, and the family must try to avenge the death of their loved one. A child's bravado, his brother's determination and his sister's resolve bring surprises, while their mother makes a decision that will change all their lives. Loyalty, murder, kidnapping, and intrigue fill this fastpaced story that explores hardtoanswer questions about the nature of humanity and why we sometimes refuse to see what is coming in the Prelude to Genocide.

Compelling historical fiction with contemporary implications By Kathleen Arcuri I had the privilege of reading a pre-release version of this thought-provoking, thoroughly researched, and well-written book. As today's political and religious strife captures our attention on a daily basis, it is useful to examine incidents of discrimination and violence against ethnic and religious minorities throughout history. The author has fictionalized her Armenian family's story in the late nineteenth century Ottoman Empire, to help us understand how diverse communities can live peacefully with each other until underlying resentments are enflamed by political interests. The narrative feels compellingly real, as two families' lives intersect and diverge towards a dramatic denouement. Compelling too are the individual characters, male and female, as they portray daily life in a small village inhabited by Christians, Muslims, and Jews in what is now eastern Turkey.

Of special note is that the author tells this story from multiple points of view, and does notsimplistically create "good guys" and "bad guys". It examines the people and relationships on both sides of this tragedy caught up in the blowback from geopolitical games not of their making. Highly recommended.

I had no prior knowledge of this event, however the author describes this incident so vividly, and develops the characters so well, that it all comes alive. The book is of historic interest, intellectually stimulating and emotionally powerful.
