Description
The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali, the acclaimed author of The Stationery Shop of Tehran, is a moving and empowering story of friendship, courage, and defiance set against the social and political upheavals of Iran.
The novel follows Ellie and Homa, two inseparable friends growing up in pre-revolutionary Tehran. As young women, they dream of freedom, education, and a future filled with promise — but when revolution and repression take hold, their choices lead them down very different paths. Years later, Ellie, now living in America, must confront her memories, regrets, and the haunting past that binds her to her homeland and her lost friend.
Through lyrical prose and rich historical detail, Kamali explores the resilience of Iranian women, the cost of freedom, and the enduring power of sisterhood. The Lion Women of Tehran is a story about identity, memory, and the strength it takes to speak one’s truth.
Perfect for readers who loved The Stationery Shop of Tehran or The Forty Rules of Love.
