New e-book: The Soil, Stepan Zoryan

Displaced from his village, the elderly Apo has become a beloved neighbor and wise adviser in his new home. Memories of their lost homes, gardens, and ancestors’ graves live on in the daily lives of those who left their native Igdir because of the war. Apo’s return to his birthplace, now separated by a border, reveals the strength of the bond with one’s native soil and the longing of those in exile. The handful of earth he brings back unites his family and fellow villagers, reminding them that their homeland is also a memory and a place of refuge.
