I really enjoyed reading this book, the author painted a captivating picture and revealed just enough about Iranian customs to be interesting and keep a reader involved. A romantic yet real view of human relationships with their ups and downs. The book tackles some fairly intense topics in such a way that you feel but are not bogged down in gloominess.

Maryam returns to her homeland of Iran after being disowned by her father and spending her adult life in London. She leaves behind her London family to find herself and the life she lost.
