Description
Maria Layishyan - Reliving My Childhood
One day, when I saw the reflection of my grandmother in the mirror, who had just been taken by death, I suddenly felt that with her departure, an important part of my history—the honey dialect—was being forgotten, and I wanted a piece of it to remain in my book and breathe. Suddenly, an insatiable desire arose inside me to bring to life the illusion I once had of writing, to satisfy my longing in this way," the author's words, perhaps, most aptly represent this book, which lies somewhere between a memoir and a novel. The journey through the colorful paths of childhood is presented in a rich, evocative language, beautifully weaving together the author's reflections and the faint echoes of a long-lost dialect. This book is a poignant exploration of memory and heritage, capturing the essence of a disappearing linguistic and cultural legacy.
