4.4 The Lion Women of Tehran

4.4 The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali

This is my favorite type of historical fiction. Kamali takes a tumultuous period in the history of Tehran and explores it through the lens of two women growing up in this society. It is part history, part political narrative, and a lot of interpersonal dynamics between two friends dealing with their changing lives and country. Also check out the Pink Card podcast for another perspective on this historical moment.
