A Memoir of Longing, War, Leaving, and Becoming
First Love in Iran
Before love had language, it arrived as a glance.
Set in Iran after the 1979 revolution, First Love in Iran follows the education of a heart: a suspended glance, friendship tested by war, family love shaped by sacrifice, and the long work of leaving, making a home, and letting go.
About the book
A memoir of longing, war, exile, and becoming.
In one suspended second, a boy sees a girl, and that moment becomes the first country of his imagination.
From there, First Love in Iran moves through friendship, danger, leaving, marriage, home, craft, and the quiet peace of return. It is a story about the loves that make us, unmake us, and call us back to ourselves.
