Copies of The Sandcastle Girls
can be borrowed from the Jones Library and branches, requested and
checked out from the C/W Mars library catalog, or purchased at Amherst
Books or Food for Thought Books in Amherst.
The Sandcastle Girls is a New York Times
bestseller that was included on several “Best Book of 2012” lists and
Arts and Letters Award from the Armenian National Committee of America
and the Saint Mesrob Mashdots Medal by His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos
of the Great House of Cilicia. The novel tells the parallel stories of
Elizabeth, a Mt. Holyoke College graduate who, in 1915, accompanies her
father to Aleppo, Syria, to aid Armenian refugees, and current-day
Laura, a New Yorker trying to make sense of the life story of her
grandmother Elizabeth, as well as her own past. The selection of this
title is particularly timely, as the novel addresses the Armenian
genocide which began in 1915, an event that is rarely studied or
mentioned. The 100th anniversary of this tragedy is approaching, and is sure to receive media attention in 2015.
Chris Bohjalian is the author of more than a dozen books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Night Strangers, Secrets of Eden, Skeletons at the Feast, The Double Bind, Before You Know Kindness, The Law of Similars, and Midwives. He won the New England Book Award in 2002, and his novel Midwives
was a selection of Oprah's Book Club. His work has been translated into
over 25 languages. He has also written for a wide variety of
magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Reader's Digest, and the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine, and he has been a Sunday columnist for Gannett's Burlington Free Press since 1992. A graduate of Amherst College, Bohjalian lives in Vermont with his wife and daughter.
