For many years, heartache prevented Nahid Rachlin from turning her sharp novelist's eye inward: to tell the story of how her own life diverged from that of her closest confidante and beloved sister, Pari. Growing up in Iran, both refused to accept traditional Muslim mores, and dreamed of careers in literature and on the stage. Their lives changed abruptly when Pari was coerced by their father into marrying a wealthy and cruel suitor. Nahid narrowly avoided a similar fate, and instead negotiated with him to pursue her studies in America. When Nahid received the unsettling and mysterious news that Pari had died after falling down a flight of stairs, she traveled back to Iran--now under the Islamic regime--to find out what happened to her truest friend, confront her past, and evaluate what the future holds for the heartbroken in a tale of crushing sorrow, sisterhood, and ultimately, hope.

Under its placid surface in 1978, Iran was a simmering sea of religious animosity and social resentment, which was shortly to boil over into the world's first Islamic revolution: the overthrow of the country's autocratic ruler, the Shah; and his replacement with a charismatic religious leader, Ayatollah Khomeni. My Persian Girl is an account of the impact the violent turmoil of the 1979 Iranian revolution has on three people: Shahnaz, a young Iranian woman; her husband Raman, who is an ambitious officer in Iran's secret police; and a naive young Englishman, James Harding. All these characters must make difficult decisions as Iran gradually slides towards the revolution, which threatens their personal safety. My Persian Girl is more than a love story set within a political thriller - it is a story of courage and hope in the face of momentous events, which have global resonance today.

On a cold night in 1978, seven-year-old Shabnam Shahmohammad clung to her mother in a Tehran apartment while the sounds of gunshots rang out in the street: The Iranian Revolution was at hand. She and her family survived that night, but as the Islamic fundamentalists took the power over, she grew up watching her father take his beloved books away to burn, his friends be arrested and disappear, and women like her mother grow ever more marginalized. Confused by her father's communist ideology, her mother's conservative religious beliefs, and the regime's oppressive rules, she developed a deep longing to live a different life. Finding herself being married at nineteen, she naively dreamed to team up and discover an adventurous life. When she gave birth to a daughter whose future, she realized, mattered more to her than her own, she had to find a way to unlock her little girl's possibilities. She longed to emigrate, but with Western countries' embassies mostly absent from Tehran, options for escaping Iran were limited. My Persian Paradox: Memories of an Iranian Girl is a tale of resilience facing oppression and dictatorship along with fighting with narrow traditional and restrictive cultural rules. This memoir is a journey of self-discovery, mother-daughter relationship obstacles, forbidden love, and the universal desire for freedom.

Iran. A nation mired in rumor and mystery for much of the Western world. What snippets of information work their way into the media and books might be considered appalling, especially when it comes to widespread discrimination and abuse. Fariba knows this all too well. She has been taught since birth that a woman's role is to be obedient to men. This is her story.Most of the world continues to evolve and advance basic human rights for all but women like Fariba are forced to look through the glass only. Theirs is a life of quiet servitude, a life where women can do no right and are expected to keep their mouths shut and obey. Any high points women have made during Iran's long and storied past is ignored, cast back into shadow without a fight or questioning. This male dominated society controls every aspect of life and it is the Iranian women who are meant to suffer. But why?Persian Women explores Iran's history as the author attempts to forge a new future of equality and hope. It is a detailed chronicle of the strides women have taken to change a corrupt system and earn their freedom. Persian Women is a gripping emotional experience told through the eyes of a woman who lived it. Written with the bitter truth, Fariba brings to light one of the greatest crises in the modern world. She shows unmitigated courage as she details the good and the bad of women living in Iran today. Any hope for the future must come from the women of today. Persian Women is a sparkling tribute to everyone who has ever stood up to oppression and shouted, no more.
