Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Between the Two Rivers is the story of Mannig, a young girl growing up in the years following the Armenian Genocide. Mannig has seen both her parents and most of her siblings murdered by the gendarmes. After years living on the streets in what is now eastern Iraq, fighting with the other children for camel dung to trade for bread, she enters an orphanage set up for the surviving Armenian children. Later, the children are transferred to Bagdad, where she begins life anew. Between the Two Rivers is a candid and moving memoir of the author's mother, who endured indescribable atrocities and hardship growing up Orthodox in a Muslim land.
