A historical saga that follows three siblings through the Armenian genocide and beyond: “A novel to remember.” —La Stampa This absorbing novel from a multiple award-winning author recounts the story of the Armenian genocide and other twentieth-century occurrences, ranging from the shores of the Mediterranean to the frozen Siberian coast, from the plush palazzi of Venice to the cruel Soviet concentration camps as it follows the lives of two twin brothers, Mikaèl and Gabrièl, and their younger sister, Rose. Exploring the historical events of the last century that shook the very foundations of humanity, Under Indifferent Skies is full of suspense and unexpected narrative twists while evoking universal emotions and tackling collective aspects of our existence—primordial instincts like survival, the experience of motherhood, the bond of blood ties, the need to belong, the quest for a purpose in life. Above all, it is a story of resilience and hope, a story of faith in a supreme force that governs the Cosmos that inexorably renders justice in the end.

Dalle calli di Venezia alla Grecia dei primi del Novecento e alla Russia dei gulag, Vasken Berberian ci racconta con sensibilità rara una trama sottile di emozioni, ricordi e vite sospese, sullo sfondo incantato e struggente del Mediterraneo e i mari glaciali della lontana Siberia.
