Follow on Google News | Author Adds Accolade to Growing ListTerzian’s “The Immigrants’ Daughter,” a compendium of memoirs of growing up in Cairo, gets favorable commentary from organizers of Writer’s Digest Self-Published Books Competition.
By: Writers' Club of Whittier The following is the judge’s commentary: "THE IMMIGRANTS' DAUGHTER is a totally enjoyable read from start to finish. Ms. Terzian’s narrative is laced with the perfect mix of drama and humor, with some occasional sarcasm thrown in for good measure. She is also a master at sensory detail, knowing when and how much to add so that readers are engaged in the surroundings without ever being overwhelmed. Women of all nationalities will be amazed at her strength and character as she takes them through her struggles to overcome Middle Eastern ideas regarding 'a woman’s place' in society in the 1940’s. The book’s design is clean and easy to read. The snappy chapter titles brought a smile to my face." Terzian’s memoir also won the Best Books 2006 Award, and placed finalist in the Indie Excellence 2007 Book Awards, both in the multicultural, nonfiction category. Asked about her reaction to the judge’s comments she states that she is gratified and hopes to reach the summit, “to prove that ESL (English as a second language) is no impediment to climbing up the ladder to success.” The book is available through amazon.com. (Author's comment: the book is now on Ipad and will be on other E-pub shelves soon) www.maryterzian.com www.authorsden.com/ # # # Mary Terzian (www.maryterzian.com, www.authorsden.com/ End
