520    "Katerina longs to know why her late grandmother, Miriam, 
       refused to talk  about the past, especially when she 
       inherits a journal and handwritten letters stashed in a 
       wooden spice box, cryptic treasures written in  Armenian, 
       Miriam's mother tongue.  On vacation in Cyprus,  Katerina 
       finds the key to unlocking her grandmother's secrets and 
       discovers a family legacy of exile and loss. Aged seven, 
       Miriam was  expelled from her home in Eastern Turkey and 
       witnessed the death of her  beloved brother Gabriel, or so
       she believed.  Katerina sets out  on a fact-finding 
       mission across the island and solves a mystery that  
       changes her life and lays the ghosts of her grandmother's 
       turbulent past  to rest. My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets 
       Sarah's Key in  this gripping family saga, set during the 
       tragic start of the Armenian  genocide in 1915 Turkey, 
       spanning the ups and downs of a family separated by the 
       devastating aftermath in 1985 Greece."--|cProvided by
