Set in Iran before the revolution --- a world on the brink of destruction --- a haunting and passionate story of a doomed love affair.
Anahita Firouz's Summer Reading List
Italian Villas and their Gardens
by Edith Wharton
I was in Italy last year and I love gardens, and Wharton writes beautifully about them.
In the Forest
by Edna O'Brien
A writer I admire, especially for her evocative prose and passionate themes.
The Pickup
by Nadine Gordimer
Gordimer deals admirably with political and social issues, and I've picked this new novel because I'm also very interested in how different cultures come face to face and how individuals reveal themselves in that process.
Holy Madness: Romantics, Patriots and Revolutionaries 1776-1871
by Adam Zamoyski
Revolutions & revolutionaries interest me a great deal (a theme in my own novel), as does this particular period of history in Europe and the Americas.
White Oleander
by Janet Fitch
My teenage daughter liked reading this novel very much and wants me to read it.
