Orhan's Inheritance - Aline Ohanesian

A story set in the time of the Armenian genocide and also in modern L.A.  Interestingly, it is not just a compendium of the horrors of the genocide (though there is some).  It is actually a story of how the lives of the Turks, Armenians and Kurds were interwoven in complex and human ways, and how the genocide tore that interweaving apart.  A shift in perspective.
