LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Iran is in the headlines again, and readers will appreciate a book that explains how U.S-Iran relations and Iran-Israel relations are what they are today, through characters at odds with one another.
Set in Iran circa 1978-1979, Ziba is an impressionistic brushstroke, depicting Iran as it spirals into revolution while the Azadi family is divided by opposing allegiances.
Ziba is tearing her marriage apart due to a cheating heart and because she feels alienated in the royal court. Her daughter from a first marriage, Nasreen, is a socialist, a punk-rock poet, who has grown rebellious, event truant, after being cast out of Ziba's new family.
