Description
Spanning three decades and four generations, this polyphonic novel traces one family’s shifting loyalties and hard-won hopes as Iran is remade by revolution, repression, and the long shadow of exile. From the fervor of 1979 to the anxious waiting of 1989 in West Germany, and back to a Tehran that feels both intimate and unrecognizable in 1999, the story follows how love, politics, and survival intertwine. When the Green Revolution erupts in 2009, private heartbreak and public courage collide, testing what it means to resist when the cost is everything. With its lyrical, character-driven storytelling and keen attention to memory and moral choice, the book illuminates themes of freedom, complicity, and the enduring power of family bonds under pressure.
