Description
In 1960s Iran, a middle-class housewife navigates the quiet pressures of family expectations while searching for a life that feels fully her own. Set against the everyday rituals of domestic routine, the novel unfolds as a tender, slice-of-life portrait of love, duty, and the small compromises that shape a marriage and a self. As her world narrows and expands in equal measure, what remains unspoken becomes its own kind of language—revealing longing, resilience, and the cost of silence. With Zoya Pirzad’s award-winning, intimate storytelling, this novel captures the texture of ordinary days while illuminating larger themes of identity, agency, and cultural change before the revolution.
