European Literary Network and Ted Hodkginson: A haunting history filled with sorrow, resilience and beauty.

An astonishing and evocative encounter with the Armenian people and the terrible acts of genocide they have suffered.

The Book of Whispers attunes us to the sounds of the Armenian people, from the harrowing and largely hidden story of their marginalisation and oppression, to the cadences and rhythms of their everyday language and rituals. In a majestic translation by Alastair Ian Blyth, we are granted access to a haunting history filled with sorrow, resilience and beauty.
