The Persians by Sanam Mahloudji
The Persians by Sanam Mahloudji
$ 20.00
Three generations. A whole lot of family history. The Valiat family is in crisis. Elizabeth, the regal matriarch, remained in Tehran despite the revolution with only the Islamic-law-breaking Niaz for company. Meanwhile, in America, Shirin, Seema, and Bita are wondering if life in the "land of plenty" is all they had hoped for. When an annual vacation goes wildly awry and Shirin is arrested, long-held Valiat family secrets begin to surface. As their lives are turned upside down, could revealing the truth save their family, or might it break them apart once and for all?
McSweeney's , The Idaho Review , The Kenyon Review , and elsewhere. Her debut novel The Persians has been shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize and the Women's Prize for Fiction.
