Continuing the riveting tale of Tatul and Adrine, two Armenians caught up in the horrific massacre ordered by the Turkish government during WWI. With the war at its conclusion, Tatul and Adrine find themselves in the exotic and scandalous city of Istanbul, desperate to gather their people together and betrayal--even among their own--hovers in the dark crevices of the famed city. Still "The Fox" at heart, Tatul must daily battle the need to risk everything for the mission he's been given, yet guard with his life the woman he loves. With the last remnant of Noah's descendants encompassing a bedraggled band of orphans, Tatul and Adrine must sacrifice everything to save the future of their homeland.
This is another great book by Clint Kelly. Besides being easy to read and quite factual, the book covers a very little known subject, that of Armenians in Istanbul after the end of the Armenian Genocide and WWI. Like the first book, besides being a riveting story, this book deals with the spiritual and emotional struggles Armenians were going through in dealing with the Genocide. A main theme of the book is forgiveness, which is brave step for Kelly to take when writing on this subject. The book even includes Armenian traitors and vengeance assassins, which accurately portrays the complexity of the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide. This is again, a great book for those knowing little about the subject, and an excellent book to help Armenians ponder many of same issues they deal with today.
