The Iranian Revolution Aftermath

Thursday, August 02, 2007

In 1982, when she was 10 years old, Dalia Sofer and her family escaped Iran. It was an experience that may explain the intense detail of her literary debut, The Septembers of Shiraz. The novel captures the chaotic spirit of post-revolutionary Iran and a family’s efforts to reconcile the collapse of everything they have known.

The Septembers of Shiraz is available for purchase at amazon.com
