 Five women. Three generations. A whole lot of family history.

The Valiat family is in crisis. Elizabeth, the regal matriarch, remained in Tehran despite the revolution with only the Islamic-law-breaking Niaz for company. Meanwhile, in America, Shirin, Seema, and Bita are wondering if life in the "land of plenty" is all they had hoped for. When an annual vacation goes wildly awry and Shirin is arrested, long-held Valiat family secrets begin to surface. As their lives are turned upside down, could revealing the truth save their family, or might it break them apart once and for all?

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The narrators of this audiobook—Donia Bijan, Lanna Joffrey, Nikki Massoud, and Mozhan Navabi—bring the vibrant, multifaceted Valiat family to life with skillful and dynamic performances. This multigenerational family saga spans decades and continents as the story moves from Iran to the U.S. Each narrator captures the nuances of their character with precision—from Bijan’s authoritative Elizabeth, whose regal presence and complex emotions are conveyed beautifully, to Joffrey’s spirited portrayal of Seema, who evokes both vulnerability and longing. Massoud gives Shirin a spirited, bold energy that mirrors her ambition, while Navabi’s portrayal of Bita offers an introspective tone. The contrast between each narrator helps convey the tension between the old and new worlds, making this a compelling listening experience."
