The novel "Butterflies Have No Heart, or Three Days in Yerevan" captures three long, arduous days in a dusty city, filled with the aroma of coffee and chance encounters. It depicts families moving from neighborhood to neighborhood and old courtyards adorned with clotheslines. These three days span thirty years, against the backdrop of a war passed from generation to generation, leaving a terrible legacy not of death, but of lives left unlived.

Over the course of these days, the narrative delves into the burial of a good man, revealing the realization that no one is truly alone. It explores how the past and present are often much closer than they appear, and contemplates a future that seems perpetually out of reach—yet one that will inevitably arrive if someone is there to welcome it.
