When Orhan's brilliant and eccentric grandfather - a man who built a dynasty out of making kilim rugs - is found dead, submerged in a vat of dye, Orhan inherits the decades-old business. But his grandfather's will raises more questions than answers.
Kemal has left the family estate to a stranger, thousands of miles away, an aging woman in an Armenian retirement home in Los Angeles. Her existence and secrecy about her past only deepen the mystery of why Orhan's grandfather would have willed their home in Turkey to an unknown woman rather than to his own son or grandson.
Left with only Kemal's ancient sketchbook and intent on righting this injustice, Orhan boards a plane to Los Angeles. There, over many meetings, he will not only unearth the story that 87-year-old Seda so closely guards, but discover that Seda's past now threatens to unravel his future. It's a story that, if told, has the power to undo the legacy upon which his family is built.
Moving back and forth in time, between the last years of the Ottoman Empire and the 1990s, Orhan's Inheritance is a story of passionate love, unspeakable horrors, incredible resilience, and the hidden stories that haunt a family.

Armenian genocide

The narration was very pleasant to listen to and i will look for other books narrated by him. The story was involving and piqued my interest throughout. While it may not be "literary fiction" it is a story well told.
Easy historical fiction

The author got a very heavy subject and made it very hard to follow the plot. Maybe it worth to listen to the book on a slower pace.
Good history book about the Armenian genocide but confusing plot with lots of hard to pronounce names.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would recommend it with the following qualification - if you are Armenian, try not to cringe when you hear the "Armenian". If you're not Armenian - yes, these things really happened.What other book might you compare Orhan's Inheritance to and why?
Sandcastle Girls - another compelling story about the Genocide.How could the performance have been better?
The reader needs to be coached regarding correct Armenian pronunciation. I wish someone had listened with that in mind before producing the recording.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The story pulled me in immediately and kept me engaged. Very well written!Incorrect Armenian pronunciation
