Forgotten Fire by Adam Bagdasarian

This was an interesting historical novel about the Armenian genocide that took place in Turkey during WWI. The Turkish were persecuting Christian armenians and basically obliterated 1/3 of the population. The book is dark and violen (as most books about genocide are wont to be) but it's definitely an eye-opener. You will definitely learn something. It's an easy read and kind of hard to put down - mostly because you just want the pain to be over.
