Maggiori informazioni sul libro
A flight from Iran and the struggle for identity and recognition. Since 1979, with the fall of the Shah, the daughters of the prominent Iranian family Valiat have been in American exile. Their mother, who still embodies home, tradition, and pride, remained alone in Iran with her granddaughter. When the annual family reunion in Aspen goes awry and the excitable Shirin is only released from custody after posting bail, something changes in the women; each must confront painful questions: How do they relate to their Persian roots? And who do they want to be in the future? Sanam Mahloudji presents her debut novel. How should one lead a life when one is not where one belongs? "The Persians" is simultaneously a comedy, drama, and farce. An intense, wholly unforgettable reading experience.
