<div><b>“A breathtaking and expansive work of historical fiction and proof that the past can sometimes rewrite the future.” —Christina Baker Kline, author of<i>Orphan Train</i></b><br><br>When Orhan’s brilliant and eccentric grandfather, 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 has left the family estate to a stranger thousands of miles away, Seda, an aging woman in a retirement home in Los Angeles. Over time, Orhan begins to unearth the story that eighty-seven-year-old Seda so closely guards--a story that, if it’s told, has the power to undo the legacy upon which Orhan’s family is built and could unravel Orhan’s own future. <br><br>Like Anthony Marra’s <i>A Constellation of Vital Phenomena,</i> Téa Obreht’s <i>The Tiger’s Wife,</i>and Adam Johnson’s <i>The Orphan Master’s Son,</i> Ohanesian’s moving debut showcases formidable storytelling talents and powerful truths.<br><br><b>“A harrowing tale of unimaginable sacrifice . . . A novel that delves into the darkest corners of human history and emerges with a tenuous sense of hope.” —<i>Kirkus Reviews,</i>starred review<br><br>“<i>Orhan’s Inheritance</i> tells us things we thought we knew and shows us we had no idea.
