Description
Lusine Hovhannisyan’s “The Twenty-Fourth Day of Autumn” summarizes the tragic events of recent years.
At the heart of the story are the fates of four generations of women originally from Artsakh, and the ancestral home with its maroon gate—where none of these women actually lived, now visible only via Google Earth—which becomes the narrative’s central axis.
The plot is based on real events. The biographies of the first three women reflect the history of the author’s maternal family, while the last portrays a contemporary woman—a composite of three young women from the 1990s, whose lives were shaped by the collapse of the USSR, the First Artsakh War, the Four-Day War, the Forty-Four-Day War, and the occupation of Artsakh.
Through the novel, the author constructs her own memorial in book form, much like her family’s previous women created theirs around the image of the ancestral home with the maroon gate.
