Description:

The story of two young Jewish girls living in a village in Persia at the turn of the century. Nazie has been long engaged to her cousin and anxiously awaits their marriage whilst Flora is married, pregnant and seemingly abandoned.

Synopsis:

While eleven-year-old Nazie has long been engaged to her cousin Moussa and anxiously awaits her marriage, fifteen-year-old Flora has been abandoned by her husband in the midst of a difficult pregnancy. In a novel brimming with vitality and sensuality - smells, colours and textures float effortlessly off the page - Rabinyan examines the lives of these young Jewish girls in a Persian village at the beginning of the twentieth century. Persian Brides is a widely-acclaimed, vibrant and award-winning debut of immense emotional power.
