Description
Set in contemporary Tehran, this short novel follows a thirty-five-year-old housewife and mother of two as she looks back on her days, her choices, and the quiet pressures shaping her life. Through her intimate reflections, she searches for meaning beyond routine—grappling with love, identity, and the tension between private longing and public expectation. Fariba Vafi’s lyrical, observant style turns everyday moments into a portrait of modern Iran, where adaptation is both necessary and costly. At its heart, the book explores resilience, self-discovery, and what it means to find one’s voice in a world that keeps changing.
