The
Sandcastle Girls is a sweeping historical love story steeped in Chris
Bohjalian's Armenian heritage.
Laura
Petrosian is a novelist living in suburban New York. Although her
grandparents' ornate Pelham home was affectionately nicknamed "The
Ottoman Annex," Laura has never really given her Armenian heritage much
thought. But when an old friend calls, claiming to have seen a
newspaper photo of Laura's grandmother promoting an exhibit at a Boston
museum, Laura embarks on a journey back through her family's history
that reveals love, loss – and a wrenching secret that has been buried
for generations.
