Teen 18 Nude Sand Castles

Description:Vermont writer Chris Bohjalian has Armenian roots and his novel, "The Sandcastle Girls," imagines the horror of that time and unravels a hidden family history that includes a love story. Readers get the first glimpse of this horror when one of the main characters, Bostonian Elizabeth Endicott, sees a band of naked women herded into the main square of the Turkish city of Aleppo. They are the survivors of a death march across the desert. Their skin has been seared black by the sun or stained by the soil in which they have slept or, in some cases by great yawning scabs and wounds that are open and festering and, even at this distance, malodorous. The women look like dying wild animals. Their efforts are valiant but cannot stop the calculated killing of Armenian men and the starvation of women and children.
