YesFrom the author of The Stationery Shop of Tehran, a heartfelt,
epic new novel of friendship, betrayal and redemption set against
three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran. In 1950s Tehran,
seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely
death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny
home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless
grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her
isolation.Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a
kind, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit.
Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone
kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of
the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions for becoming 'lion
women.' But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother
are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois
life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran,
Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade.Years later, however, her
sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course
of both of their lives. Together, the two young women come of age
and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the
political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one
earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.Praise
