Book Reviews of The Knock at the Door: A Journey Through the Darkness of the Armenian Genocide
Book Review: Beautiful, gripping, heartrending.
Summary: 5 Stars
Books about the Armenian Genocide, or set in that period, are often almost too terrible to read: you cannot say that you enjoy them, and of course you are not meant to - their purpose is usually to inform rather than involve. This book is different. It does both. It is a true story, related lovingly by the daughter of a young Armenian girl (Ester), who lived through that terrible time and whose courage endures despite the appalling brutality she encountered. You will still be horrified at the things man does to his fellow man, but you will love the wise, life-affirming, down-to-earth, insightful, honest, indomitable Ester, and you will admire the feisty lady she became. When you have finished the book, you will wish that you were privileged enough to know her.
