520    1953, Tehran. Roya loves nothing better than to while away
       the hours in the local stationery shop run by Mr. Fakhri. 
       The store, stocked with fountain pens, shiny ink bottles, 
       and thick pads of writing paper, also carries translations
       of literature from all over the world. And when Mr. Fakhri
       introduces her to his other favorite customer -- handsome 
       Bahman, with his burning passion for justice and a shared 
       love for Rumi's poetry -- Roya loses her heart at once. 
       But around them, life in Tehran is changing. On the eve of
       their marriage, Roya heads to the town square to meet with
       Bahman. Suddenly, shockingly, violence erupts: a coup 
       d'etat that forever changes their country's future. Bahman
       never arrives. Roya must piece her life back together. Her
       parents, wanting her to be safe, enroll her in college in 
       California, where she meets and marries another man. But, 
       nearly sixty years later, an accident of fate finally 
       brings her the answer she has always wanted to know - Why 
       did you leave? Where did you go?How is it that you were 
       able to forget me? Marjan Kamali's beautiful novel, set in
       a country poised for democracy but destroyed by political 
       upheaval, explores issues that have never been more timely,
       of immigration and cultural assimilation, of the quirks of
       fate. And its ending will break readers' hearts
