Beskrivelse
A compelling story about five women from different walks of life who come together in a lush garden outside Tehran. This novel explores their journeys toward freedom and a life beyond societal constraints.
An evocative tale of female liberation set against the backdrop of Iranian history and mysticism.
Longlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026, this acclaimed novel by one of Iran's most influential writers captures the intertwined lives of five women-a wealthy housewife, a sex worker, a schoolteacher, and others-who find refuge in a vibrant garden on Tehran’s outskirts. Blending elements of Islamic mysticism with the realities of recent Iranian history, the story portrays their escape from the limitations imposed by family and society. It envisions a future where these women live freely, in a world without men.
Praised as "the best feminist novel I know" by Johanne Lykke Holm, and hailed by Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis, as "a courageous, talented woman, and above all, a great writer," this unforgettable work has been translated from Persian by Faridoun Farrokh.
