Description
This powerful and poignant tale of childhood friendship has stayed with Andreï Makine forever. Set against the backdrop of 1970s Siberia, My Armenian Friend is a story of ordinary lives and the writer's own evolution as a writer.
In an orphan school, a young Russian boy befriends Vardan, an Armenian child who is tormented by bullies. As he grows closer to Vardan, the Russian boy learns about a people forced to live on the margins, yet who hold on to their culture and cherish memories of their homeland.
This beautifully written story offers a poignant evocation of community and resilience, even in the most inhospitable of places. A fine piece of writing that has left a lasting impression on its author.
