This review is from: Ararat (Paperback)

The great saga of a people that could not be eliminated from the face of the earth. 1895 was the year and the reign of terror that could not end the Armenian race. This book is a masterpiece of Historical fact. A not to be lost history of a great Race. Memorable people , passionate events and a prayer for peace. The history of the Middleast brought to life. I loved this book and how it took me there ..even as I hated the horror:I was rivited to the facts of the place and time.

This review is from: Ararat (Paperback)

In 1939,the book Ararat won the National Book Award, American Booksellers Award, and the Foundation for Literature Award.
Even after you stop reading Ararat, your thoughts keep coming back to the characters in the book. You become part of the book long after you have finished reading it. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ararat: home of the Armenians, December 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ararat (Paperback)

This book, a historical fiction novel, takes place in Armenia.The author,Elgin Groseclose, is very descriptive about the way of life of the Armenians and how they are different from the Turks. The Armenians are peaceful christians who are a minority in Moslem Turkey. (...) What sets this book away from others is that the characters are unique and individual. Each of them has a wonderful personality. I would recommend this book to everyone,becauser of it's realism.The question I have after readind this book is who was in power during the revolution and did Prince Cherninolf ever come back? My strongest reason for recommending this book is that it is very informitive on Turkey and Russia's history.
