Bøger af Farnoosh Moshiri

The Hexagonal Garden, at the foot of the Alborz Mountain in Iran is the scene of multiple love stories, murder, and suicide. The time is the early 1950s, and the dark shadow of the American coup d'état falls on the incidents of the novel. The beloved is Pari-Sima (fairy face) who is a candle around whom her admirers fly and burn to ashes. In this novel of love and politics, two narratives, the story of the present, and the accounts of the past run parallel to each other and end unexpectedly.

The Stone Dog takes you through the world of nature, of work, of family, and self. You will find images and narratives that touch on the universal experiences of humanity through the lens of poetry. Enjoy this distillation of a life-journey transformed into accessible meaning.

With intense emotion and great literary skill, Farnoosh Moshiri has written one of the most moving novels to come out in years. The story begins with the arrest of a seventeen-year-old girl in the early days of the fundamentalist revolution in Iran. Imprisoned because of her brother's involvement with leftist politics, she is placed in a makeshift jail, a former bathhouse, in which other women are held captive. With a gripping narrative, Moshiri gives voice to these prisoners, exploring their torment and struggle, but also their courage and humanity, in the face of tyrants.
