survival of the death march at age ten that annihilated her
family - as told to her daughter, Thea - and the
mother-daughter pilgrimage to Turkey in search of Sano's
home seventy years after her exile. Sano, a Pontic Greek
from a small village near the Black Sea, also recounts the
end of her ancient, pastoral way of life in the Pontic
Mountains.".
520 8 $a"In the spring of 1920, Turkish soldiers pounded
on doors with the butts of their rifles and shouted the
proclamation issued by General Kemal (Ataturk): "You are to
leave this place. You are to take with you only what you can
carry..." On their death march, victims lay where they fell
and buzzards hung above their heads. So ended the
three-thousand-year history of the Pontic Greeks in
Turkey.".
520 8 $a"At age fifteen Sano was sold into marriage to a
man who brought her to America. He was three times her age.
Not Even My Name follows Sano's marriage, the raising of her
ten children, and her transformation from an innocent girl
who lived an ancient way of life in a remote place to a
nurturing mother and determined woman in twentieth-century
New York City."--BOOK JACKET.
