This book can be used as a source, as a way to always remember the Armenian holocaust, as a way to remember what the Ottoman Empire was about, and as a piece of literature that can never be forgotten. It was such a heart breaking historical fiction. Every word that was said by that Armenian orphan was somewhat inspiring. The author did an excellent job putting this book together. Any book that takes 10 years to be written deserves an applause.

Forgotten fire

I agree with you, I find it shocking that the Armenian genocide is rarely touched upon in schools, although all students know the spark that ignited the conflict in Sarajevo. It is heartbreaking to see that a people's suffering is deemed insignificant by in textbooks and by a government whose predecessors engineered their decimation.
