The Burning Heart of the World

AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLER, ZABELLE - AUTHOR OF THE NEW YORK TIMES REVIEWED, ALL THE LIGHT THERE WAS - In vivid, poetic prose, Nancy Kricorian's The Burning Heart of the World tells the story of a Beirut Armenian family before, during, and after the Lebanese Civil War. "You won't be able to put this book down."--Marie Myung-Ok Lee, author of The Evening Hero - "vivid, reverberating life."--Aram Saroyan, author of Still Night in L.A. Returning to the fabular tone of Zabelle, her popular first novel, Kricorian conjures up the lost worlds and intergenerational traumas that haunt a family in permanent exile. Leavened with humor and imbued with the timelessness of a folktale, The Burning Heart of the World is a sweeping saga that takes readers on an epic journey from the mountains of Cilicia to contemporary New York City.
