  1. 1. The Crossing Place

    A Journey Among the Armenians

    A lyrical travel memoir that follows an exploratory journey across the highlands and borderlands of the South Caucasus, tracing the lives, ruins and rituals of Armenian communities scattered by history. Through encounters with villagers, clergy and exiles, and visits to weathered monasteries and abandoned towns, the narrative weaves personal observation with historical reflection on empire, loss and cultural survival. The book meditates on language, landscape and memory as it maps a fragile region coping with the legacies of violence, displacement and changing national borders.
