Book Synopsis
"A time for the wicked. Yet another day to punish the innocent for their sins."
In late-nineteenth century Ottoman Turkey, two Armenian boys are fighting. Fighting for purpose and acceptance, fighting the harsh poverty they both live in, and fighting for their lives as violence erupts against Armenians within the empire. Both Ari and Vartan bear witness to the horrific massacre of their town at the hands of Ottoman forces, but Ari continues to struggle and care for his sick mother while Vartan works and builds a life. However, as each of their worlds are ripped apart by the violence around them, their lives end up intertwining in ways they never could have predicted.
As God Played His Fiddle is a powerful tale of struggle, survival, and salvation. Through the complex lives of Ari and Vartan, readers will find strength to sacrifice and hope to endure.
