In 1973 Tehran, Iran's sprawling capital city, Pasha is
secretly in love with his betrothed neighbor, Zari. But
being best friends with her fiance, who is part of a
secret organization to over throw the dictating Shah and
their secret police, doesn't help much either. When he is
found and murdered they are all thrown into grief, while
Zari and Pasha's relationship grows strong. Reality shows
Pasha and his friends that life is hard and unforgiving
and drives Zari to make a shocking choice which Pasha may
never recover from. And it could change the courses of
their lives forever.
Opinion:
This book is probably one of the best that I have ever read. It opened my eyes to what life
is really like in the Middle East and how not everyone
from there are bad. I absolutely loved the characters and
the reality of the world, and how it's not always a
perfect place, like many others make it seem. It was
really emotional how everyone dealt with things, and
almost had me in tears. I could not put this book down and
dreaded having to stop reading. I totally recommend this
to anyone who loves books and great love
stories.
