The Eaglet

Rating:
Summary: Lavishly written with close attention to detail
Review: Recommended for community library fiction collections, Arra Avakian's The Eaglet is a historical novel set in fifth century Armenia and about the struggles of Armenians to preserve their culture and religion against the imposed fire-worship of the Persian King of Kings. Lavishly written with close attention to detail and fine points of characterization, The Eaglet is a grand and memorable saga that will hold the reader's total attention from beginning to end.
