Zabelle
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Harpercollins
- Publish date: 03/01/1999
Description:
Beginning in a suburb of Boston with the quiet death of Zabelle Chahasbanian, an elderly widow, the narrative shifts back in time to her childhood in the waning days of Ottoman Turkey, where she barely survives the 1915 Armenian Genocide and near starvation in the Syrian desert. Her story encompasses years in an Istanbul orphanage, a fortuitous adoption by a rich Armenian family, and an arranged marriage to an Armenian grocer, who brings his unseen bride to America. Through each of the often comic interactions and battles that she wages in her new country -- with a domineering mother-in-law, a tradition-bound husband, Americanized children, and the man she secretly loves -- images and shadows from a long-lost world accompany her.
