Prince Rupert's Teardrop

Mary undresses and wades into the boating lake. She dives and opens her eyes. In the blur, she perceives the outline of a head - she reaches - a dead bird. But she will keep searching. Because Mary's mother, Meghranoush - a ninety-four year-old survivor of the genocide of Armenians by the Turkish army early in the twentieth century - has vanished.
