Book Description | Fearless Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali ... (Shir-Zan. Women of lions. That’s us. Can’t you see that, Ellie? One day, you and I will do great things. We will live our lives for ourselves, and we will help others. We may be just two cubs now, but we will grow into lionesses, two strong women who make things happen.) In our small library in Tehran, I looked back through Iranian history to tell the story of a bookish young woman who fell in love during the 1953 military coup in Iran. In this new novel, I tell the story of friendship between two girls from very different families and classes. I am neither a researcher nor a historian, but I am a novelist, and I know the power of storytelling. It is storytelling that kept Scheherazade alive, and through storytelling we find solace, refuge, hope, and understanding. I hope, dear reader, to share with you the joys and losses, hopes, dreams, and worries of two Iranian girls. I made this story up, but it is true to me. I hope you enjoy their journey, and I hope you see some of your own hopes in their hopes. I also hope that through their story you will feel that our hearts are all one heart. |
