Thank you Netgalley for providing a digital ARC.

In the Time of our History follows an Iranian American family in the aftermath of the death of one of the sisters. Set in the 90s with reflections on the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the story touches on family, immigration, grief and culture. While it does have a slow start, this story is definitely worth sticking around for!
