The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali
4.0

A slow burn. Was a bit underwhelmed within the first half, but then fully absorbed. A lovely, long journey of female friendship in Iran — which is an incredibly simplistic boiling down of the plot, but that’s at its core. I loved the dive into womanhood and friendship and motherhood and the rage of being female. It transcends cultures. I’ll remember Ellie and Homa for a while.
