My first from this author and my first time reading a book about Iranian culture. This is a bittersweet book. A slow burn but packs a big punch. I enjoyed this book as it touches on a lot of relevant topics both in the past and in the present. If you’re looking for a different kind of historical fiction with bittersweet romance (my favorite kind), put this on your TBR!
