BOOK: "The Immigrants' Daughter", available at Booklocker.com as an e-book or paperback.

- ". . . Ms. Terzian has a great ability to distill an entire span of some twenty years into numerous vignettes and episodes that powerfully convey her desire to become educated and to overcome stereotypical notions about the role of a woman in society and in the household. . . At the same time, she puts in perspective what it feels like to be a member of a people -- the Armenians -- who are displaced from their historic homeland and are forced to make adjustments in what was then a polyglot of cultures in Cairo, Egypt.

Ultimately, it is a story of personal triumph, if not reconciliation, as Ms. Terzian describes her journey as a United Nations employee, utilizing her French and English skills in such far-flung places as the Congo and Togo. It's an easy read, and not without its humorous moments, like when her father argues with the Mother Superior at her religious secondary school, and she is asked to translate for both of them; or when she describes her efforts to learn English and the unique quirks of the language that bedevil her. In reading this book, one would not come away with the impression that English is a second language for the author, who immigrated to the U.S. as a twenty something." V. Mouradian, review on Amazon.com
