The story is set in 1953, Tehran, Iran which is at the helm of a political outrage. It is in this Tehran that a 17 year old Roya meets Bahman in a Stationery Shop. In the midst of the books they love, they fall in love, get engaged and are all set to get married in the summer that follows. But alas, all hope of a bright future is darkened by the disappearance of Batman and the simultaneous coup in Iran. Roya, heartbroken moves to the US with her sister and meets Walter and starts a new life with him with the void created by Bahman’s absence carried deep within her heart. This story spans for over 60 years and is a story of Roya, Bahman, Walter, Zara, Ali, Badri. It is a story of Iran, its food, its people, its hospitality. It’s a story of Roya, Bahman, Walter, Zara, Ali, Badri. It’s a story of a war torn nation which is finding its heart. It is a story of love, friendship, relationships, sisterhood, trauma, betrayal, happiness, grief, loss and closure. It is a story which signifies how you don’t meet anyone you love halfway at any place. They are within each other all along. The statement that I loved the novel is an understatement. I have cried non- stop and I have smiled non - stop. This novel is like a strong ginger tea on a rainy day, provides you with warmth while devouring it, but stays with you long after you have consumed it. Roya, Bahman, Walter. They made me believe in the positivity and non toxicity of true love. It is just so simple. The language is descriptive and the vocabulary is beautiful and the character building is wonderful. I learned so much about the Irani culture and the similarities in the Indian and Irani food and hospitality culture fascinated me the most. The author has done a commendable job and her passion, her integrity can be reflected through Roya and Bahman’s story. My dear friends, please do yourself a favour and read this book.
