Tehran Moonlight Azin Sametipour

Love, loyalty and identity collide in Azin Sametipour's compelling debut novel, Tehran Moonlight. Vividly set in a country where women have no voice, one woman's fight for love and her own identity result in unimaginable consequences. She was 23, beautiful, a violinist in love with her passion. A rebel born into a conservative family where belief was everything and honor shackled women in place. Then she met Ashkan. He was 27, gorgeous, born to an Iranian father in Boston. A successful architect in the States who had returned to Iran to find his past. Then he met Mahtab. A heart wrenching tale of love, family and hope, Sametipour's Tehran Moonlight ultimately demonstrates the power of love and redemption in the midst of brutal oppression.
