Alexander Shirvanzade's "Precious Bond" is a psychological gem of Armenian realism. Set in late 19th-century in Tiflis, the story explores the suffocating nature of obsessive maternal love. It depicts the struggle of a young man caught between his own aspirations and the "precious chains" of a mother’s devotion that hinder his freedom.
