Narine Abgaryan "Three Apples Fell from the Sky / С неба упали три яблока"
A friend recommended me the book many years ago saying that it makes you feel so warm and happy afterwards - which is a strange thing to say about a book about war, abuse and the hardships of life in a tiny Armenian village, starting with the protagonist on the deathbed. But oh, it does. Because it's also a book about books and second chances and hope.
