pick#ToB26 #20
Mari is a young woman whose death has a profound impact on her family: her parents but also her uncle, aunt and their kids. It‘s a hot long summer in Michigan, in which each family member deals with their loss in their own way but at the bottom is always their shared ancestry in Armenia. A light pick, a bit less interesting than I expected.

BarbaraBB @GatheringBooks It sure is. A welcome addition to all those US/UK focused books! It‘s not technically from Armenia though, but you feel that country throughout the story, set in Michigan (edited) 1w
squirrelbrain Good to know - I wasn‘t sure about this. It sounded great but is very expensive here so if it‘s not as good as it sounds, I‘ll hold off for now. 1w

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain You know it might be me, right? 😀 1w
squirrelbrain It might be, but we share the same taste so I trust your opinion! 1w
Hooked_on_books This is one I decided to wait to get from the library. So far none of my libraries have it, so we‘ll see if it happens. 🤷🏼♀️ I do like the cover, though. 1w
Megabooks @Hooked_on_books My hoopla just got it. Maybe yours will get it, too? B, I wasn't initially interested in this, but you make it sound really good! 1w

Hooked_on_books @Megabooks Unfortunately my libraries don‘t use Hoopla. I wish they did—I would love to have even more options! 1w
sarahbarnes Hmm, I am interested in this one - I voted on it for camp. Too bad it was only a light pick. 1w
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books The cover is based on the Armenian flag 1w
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I might have be to negative. Thinking back it was a good read for sure. I just expected to learn a bit more about Armenia. Do read it! 1w
