Never Hide from the Devil

Format: Paperback

About the Book

"Heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, and painfully timely." Kirkus Reviews (STARRED review)

"A gripping tale of love and survival." Foreword Reviews (STARRED review)

"A heartbreaking but ultimately hopeful story of an important, underrecognized historical event." Booklist

"A jagged piece of shrapnel from 1915 Van, pulsing with the frantic, localized energy of a city under siege." The Armenian Weekly

The government wants them dead.

Fourteen-year-old Suren Simonian lives a familiar boyhood in the Armenian city of Van in eastern Anatolia attending school, watching fistfights, and trying to stay out of the way of Turkish gendarmes. His closest companion is Hamza, his Turkish best friend, and most days feel ordinary enough.

But in the spring of 1915, rumors of massacres sweep through the region. Soon, Turkish troops surround Van with a single objective: the extermination of its Armenian population. As violence closes in, Suren is forced to confront the meaning of loyalty, courage, and manhood in a world that has turned deadly overnight.

Inspired by a true story of resistance during the Armenian Genocide, Never Hide from the Devil is a powerful coming-of-age novel about friendship, survival, and impossible moral choices in the face of unimaginable horror.

Review :

"Heart-wrenching and thought-provoking, this slowly unfurling epic dramatizes the defense of the city of Van--a bitter victory in the first month of the Armenian genocide--through the eyes of 14-year-old Suren Simonian, forced to grow up too quickly." --Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)

"Set amid the Armenian genocide, Never Hide from the Devil is a gripping tale of love and survival." --Foreword Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

"Not merely a historical reconstruction... a jagged piece of shrapnel from 1915 Van... pulsing with the frantic, localized energy of a city under siege... rendered in prose that lands with a rifle's recoil, taut, sharp, and unforgiving." --Milena Baghdasaryan, The Armenian Weekly
