RaveBooklistDarznik’s knowledgeably invented characters and compellingly imagined scenarios, both of which are sensuous and harrowing, are deftly set within Iran’s violent, oil-fueled, mid-twentieth-century political and social upheavals, and stay true to the essence of Farrokhzad’s audacious, dramatic, and creative life ... Darznik’s enthralling and illuminating novel will introduce Farrokhzad to a whole new world of readers.
