Same author's quiet focus on orphaned grief and survival after catastrophe, but contemporary and dystopian rather than wartime history, with a younger narrator.
The Buffalo Soldier
Another Bohjalian historical novel about loss reshaping a family, though gentler and aimed younger, without the atrocity-level violence of the Armenian genocide.
The Girl You Left Behind
Another WWI-era story of women enduring occupation, with a dual-timeline search for truth about the past—but built around a central love story.
It's Not Summer Without You
Shares the ache of loss shaping a family's history, though set at a modern beach town with teen romance instead of wartime atrocity.
Confess
Another story of a young woman rebuilding after devastating loss, though contemporary and centered on a romance with open-door heat rather than wartime history.
Ugly Love
Grief and buried trauma drive the characters here too, but it's a modern, explicit love story instead of an atrocity-era family saga.
