Description
Vigen Jakokajyan – When Does the Apricot Tree Bloom
Yerevan, 1974. The lives of three friends are irrevocably changed within a year. What seemed simple and predictable turns into a tense, dangerous reality where every choice has a price. This story is about friendship and betrayal, about dreams and forced concessions. The values that seemed unshakable in youth clash with reality, and mistakes become irreparable over time. Attempts to ask for forgiveness are too late and do not bring back what was lost. They are young, enthusiastic, and full of faith in the future. But they imperceptibly find themselves in a world where there are secret conversations, forbidden topics, and foreign games everywhere. The thirst for freedom gradually leads to a dangerous path where the stakes are not at all childish. "When Does the Apricot Tree Bloom" is a novel about love, memories, and time. A love that does not fade but deepens with the years. And about spring, which always returns.
