Description

A moving tale of exile, friendship, and love from the bestselling author of Pomegranate Soup.In the wake of the Iranian revolution, Zadi Heirati, a single mother, flees to Buenos Aires with her young daughter.

She decides to do what she knows best and opens a beauty salon, but as she meets her new neighbors and discovers their shared passion for poetry, the idea develops into much more than a job.

The inhabitants of her apartment building form an eclectic community: a sick ex-prisoner and his daughter; a promising medical student; a timid hairdresser; a newlywed couple with a dark past; a young revolutionary; an eccentric pilgrim of Mecca; and at the heart of the group, Zadi, whose humble small business becomes a spiritual hub where she hosts weekly readings of Persian poetry.Drawn together by the revolution in their homeland, these neighbors share words that inspire each to turn inward and discover beauty long buried.

At once familiar and extraordinary, this story weaves disparate lives together into a tapestry of unique grace, wit, and lyricism.
