| Description: |
This novel concerns two young Jewish girls living in a village in Persia at the turn of the 20th century. Nazie has long been engaged to her cousin and anxiously awaits their marriage, whilst Flora is married, pregnant and seemingly abandoned. |
| Synopsis: |
An extraordinary coming of age novel. Rabinyan's powers of description are astonishing; she creates a cast of characters brimming with vitality, and a village whose odours, colours and textures float effortlessly off the page. The result is one of the freshest and most accomplished first novels of recent years - a vibrant, tragi-comic and stunningly rich novel that resonates at every turn. Written with a unique blend of humour and compassion, Persian Brides explores the lives of two young Jewish girls in a Persian village at the turn of the century - focusing on two days in the lives of eleven-year-old Nazie and fifteen-year-old Flora. |
