The Septembers of Shiraz

This New York Times Notable Book-a “story that needs to be told” (Library Journal, starred review)-is the critically lauded, best-selling debut from Iranian-born author Dalia Sofer. Wrongly accused of spying after the Iranian Revolution, Isaac Amin is tossed into prison, forcing his wife to desperately search for him.
“A remarkable debut ... richly evocative, powerfully affecting ... as beautiful and delicate as a book about suffering can be.”-New York Times Book Review
