She does not believe in silence and secrecy, and this is what she always tells her pupils. Silence isn't a large part of the inheritance she received from her Téta, her beloved Armenian grandmother, who has just died at the age of one hundred and seven. Regularly over the years her large Armenian family would gather around Téta, and she would tell stories. But there is one story that she refused to tell. As soon as Léa brought it up, Téta quickly changed the subject. Now Léa wants to find out and understand the story of her ancestors. She goes to Turkey, and with the help of a Kurdish filmmaker and guide, visits her ancestral village, Manam. She learns that during the Armenian genocide at the beginning of the twentieth century, almost the entire population of Manam was killed or fled to exile in Syria. How did her grandmother and her family survive? Rima Elkouri, with great sensitivity paints the portrait of a family that wills itself to survive."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Teachers $z QueÌbec $z QueÌbec $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Armenian Genocide, 1915-1923 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z QueÌbec $z QueÌbec $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Armenians $z QueÌbec $z QueÌbec $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grandmothers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a QueÌbec (QueÌbec) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 650 7 $a Teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144248 651 7 $a QueÌbec $z QueÌbec. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206798 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Aronoff, Phyllis, $d 1945- $e translator. 700 1 $a Scott, Howard, $d 1952- $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Elkouri, Rima. $s Manam.
