Ayant fui Téhéran pour échapper à la Révolution Islamique de 1979, Hashang, Roza et leurs trois enfants tentent de reconstruire leur vie dans le petit village de Razan, au cœur de la région montagneuse de Mazandaran. Mais personne n'échappe longtemps à la violence et au chaos... et la répression finira fatalement par les rattraper.

Set in Iran in the decade following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, this moving, richly imagined novel is narrated by the ghost of Bahar, a 13-year-old girl, whose family is compelled to flee their home in Tehran for a new life in a small village, hoping in this way to preserve both their intellectual freedom and their lives. But they soon find themselves caught up in the post-revolutionary chaos that sweeps across their ancient land. Bahar's mother, after a tragic loss, embarks on a long, eventful journey in search of meaning in a world swept up in the post-revolutionary madness.
