Details: Having returned to New York State, Joe and Helen settle with the expanding family on a new farm that supports them and their community through the Depression years. As the children grow into young adulthood, the voices of a new generation begin to tell their stories. Their vastly different memories of the same household attest to the diversity of perspectives, reflecting the family’s growth and transformation.
Against the backdrop of the war, in which five of Joe’s sons serve, eldest daughter Susie and youngest daughter Laura lead their lives and witness unfolding events from separate directions. After the war, the children settle and further expand the family as Joe and Helen move into the twilight of their lives. All the while, Louisa’s son Stepan, recognized by the President of Syria, prepares to attend University and tutor the President’s children in Damascus, beginning a life of achievement and adventure.
In Amirkans, the stirring conclusion of the Odar trilogy, Denice Karamardian effortlessly weaves lives and stories together, reflecting on family and showing us what makes up this most intimate of inheritances.
