Khanum Gevorgyan
(author)Khanum Gevorgyan is a representative of the ‘independence generation’ in Armenia, coming from a rural village, where the memories of the Armenian genocide, Soviet Armenia, and post-Soviet hardships not only impacted the lives of the adults but also her own childhood. She grew up trying to figure out what her role is among great historical happenings in the region. Wars of all sorts―dolma wars, cultural wars, territory wars―led her to understand the critical nature of memories. Despite the various emotional tantrums that her memories brought, she finally made peace with her memories and first unlocked a memory a few months ago, which is saved in the pages of this book.
