Sharon Aroian will be exhibiting 'Crossing the Euphrates' at the Los Angeles Festival of Books held at the University of Southern California in booth 138 from Saturday 9th - Sunday 10th April. 'Crossing the Euphrates' is a wonderfully readable and moving historical novel, bringing to life a too often forgotten, century old story with vivid immediacy. It tells the harrowing escape and survival of a man who lost everyone and everything during the first genocide of the 20th century, inflicted on ethnic Armenians by the fading Ottoman Empire in 1915.
