![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Caught between the generations, and between the American and Armenian cultures in her Connecticut town, Seta confronts the fiercest division: the one within herself. "The daughter assumes what is unfinished in her mother's life," Seta learns. It falls to Seta, the novel's lyrical narrator and Casard's granddaughter, to alter her family's legacy. Casard emigrates to America to put the unspeakable past behind her yet as the years pass and her only daughter, Araxie, marries outside the clan, making her husband and their children odar-outsiders-the rift between mother and daughter threatens once again to tear the family apart. An international bestseller, now available in this twentieth-anniversary revised edition, Rise the Euphrates reaches back to 1915, when nine-year-old Casard witnesses the massacre of her family during the Armenian genocide. ![]()
