    WASHINGTON, DC - New York Times Best-Selling author Chris Bohjalian
    capped a full day on Capitol Hill with a compelling presentation of
    "The Sandcastle Girls," his newly published novel about the Armenian
    Genocide, to a standing room only Congressional audience today,
    reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

    The event was co-hosted by Armenian Genocide Resolution lead sponsors,
    Representatives Robert Dold and Adam Schiff and the ANCA.

    The Washington Post, a day before the presentation, announced that
    "The Sandcastle Girls" debuted as the #4 best-selling book in the
    national capital area. The author, in addition to making a compelling
    presentation, signed books for over two hours for a long line of
    readers that stretched out of the meeting hall.

    Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone and
    Representatives Schiff, Jackie Speier and David Cicilline, as well
    as, former U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Evans and his wife Donna
    joined Congressional staff and community members at the event.

    Community members, who had earlier purchased copies of the book,
    stood in line to meet the author and have the novel signed before and
    after the official book presentation. ANCA Executive Director Aram
    Hamparian welcomed attendees and cited the important role that works
    like "The Sandcastle Girls" play in educating mainstream America about
    the Armenian Genocide and the consequences of Turkey's Genocide denial.
