The Lion Women of Tehran: From the author of The Stationery Shop of Tehran comes a powerful new novel about friendship, betrayal, and redemption, set against the backdrop of Tehran’s political upheavals over three decades.
In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie enjoys a life of luxury until her father’s sudden death forces her and her mother to move to a small home downtown. Isolated and burdened by her mother’s constant complaints, Ellie longs for a friend to ease her loneliness.
On her first day of school, Ellie meets Homa, a spirited and courageous girl. The two form a close bond, playing games, cooking together in Homa’s home, wandering through the vibrant Grand Bazaar, and dreaming of becoming ‘lion women.’ However, when Ellie and her mother are offered the chance to return to their former wealthy lifestyle, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade as she becomes a popular student at an elite school.
Years later, Homa unexpectedly reappears in Ellie’s privileged life, bringing unforeseen changes to both their futures. As the political tensions in Iran intensify, the two women navigate their personal journeys. But an unexpected betrayal between them will have life-altering consequences.
