Every night, in a village near Seville, a man opens a book of Persian poems he cannot read and runs his fingers over the words. It is the closest he can get to her.
Forty-seven years have passed. He has never forgotten her.
Tehran, 1975. Shirin is seventeen and lives among the verses of Hafez, in a city that still laughs beneath its lights. Together with Maryam, her closest friend, she dreams of a future without limits.
Half a century later, as a new generation of Iranian women risk their lives in the streets to the cry of Zan, Zendegi, Azadi, a letter crosses the world to say what was never said.
How long can a love survive in silence?
The Birds of Isfahan is its answer: a profound and heartbreaking novel about waiting, memory, and the courage of those who refused to stay silent. A story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
If you were moved by A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini or Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, this novel will hold you from the first page.
For all the women who fight for their freedom and paint their lips red behind closed doors.
Woman. Life. Freedom.
