As in the other short stories from Mtnadzor by Aksel Bakunts, the author in “In Akar” presents the customs of a patriarchal Armenian village. Of course, all this is enriched with beautiful descriptions and imagery of the village of Akar, alongside which a tragedy gradually unfolds. The story is about a very young girl who, not yet physically mature, is forced to marry in obedience to village traditions—something that ultimately leads to her death.
