Following three generations of a family from Iran, experiencing the culture shock of a gay teen travelling back to his cultural homeland and his family's earlier experiences, including through the Iranian Revolution.
It's a beautiful story, so beautifully told. I particularly enjoyed Moud's perspective and learning how to deal with being gay and being from a country where LGBT rights are almost non-existent. Highly recommend this for fans of multigenerational stories and queer contemporary fiction.
