This is a fascinating first novel, giving us a glimpse into the pre-revolutionary days of Tehran. It opens with a mystery (why is the main character in a hospital?) and with flashback catches up to the present, while then moving forward.
There is young love, political intrigue, and family drama, all full of beauty and brutality side by side. We're reading this for our book club and I will be eagerly awaiting everyone's discussion!
