This month's selection: The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan KAMALI
In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother's grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her isolation. On the first day of school, she meets Homa. Together, the two girls share their ambitions for becoming 'lion women.’ But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother return to their previous bourgeois life. Years later, Homa’s sudden reappearance in Ellie's privileged world alters the course of both of their lives. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.
