A review by joymargot
The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali

4.0

I knew absolutely nothing about this but it caught my eye because I love stationery and wow, what a great find! It’s a beautiful tale of love and family set against the backdrop of 1950s Iran. It was so refreshing to read a romance without spicy scenes too. No shade to those who enjoy them, it’s just not my journey.

As others have remarked, some of the character development feels a bit thin on the ground but the imagery is so rich and immersive.

If you enjoyed this, you might also like Letters from the Ginza Shihodo Stationery Shop.
