AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLER, ZABELLE

  • AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES REVIEWED, ALL THE LIGHT THERE WAS • In vivid, poetic prose, Nancy Kricorian's The Burning Heart of the World tells the story of a Beirut Armenian family before, during, and after the Lebanese Civil War.

    "You won't be able to put this book down."—Marie Myung-Ok Lee, author of The Evening Hero

  • "vivid, reverberating life."—Aram Saroyan, author of Still Night in L.A.

    Returning to the fabular tone of Zabelle, her popular first novel, Kricorian conjures up the lost worlds and intergenerational traumas that haunt a family in permanent exile. Leavened with humor and imbued with the timelessness of a folktale, The Burning Heart of the World is a sweeping saga that takes readers on an epic journey from the mountains of Cilicia to contemporary New York City.
