Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Rose from PersiaIn Tehran, life does not announce its turning points.It moves quietly-through rooms, through habits, through the ways women learn to endure without being seen.Zahra has built her life on attention. She listens more than she speaks, observes more than she intervenes. In a city shaped by restraint and continuity, she learns that survival is not always resistance-it is often patience, timing, and silence.When a child enters her world, Zahra understands that inheritance is not taught through instruction, but through presence. What the child learns is not how to obey, but how to remain intact. How to choose. How to carry herself without permission.The Rose from Persia is a literary novel of quiet power-about motherhood without sentimentality, identity without declaration, and strength that passes from one life to another without ever naming itself.Set against the everyday rhythms of Tehran-its streets, its food, its silences-this is a story about becoming without spectacle, about freedom that arrives slowly, and about the unseen ways women shape the future.For readers of A Thousand Splendid Suns and The God of Small Things, this is a novel that trusts stillness, psychological depth, and the enduring force of what is left unsaid.
