Synopsis
Feri, an Iranian woman in her thirties, left Iran to study and work in the United States, where she married an American and settled down. Now, after fourteen years, she has returned to Iran to visit her family. Unexpectedly, she finds herself strangely pulled by the old culture, where she will confront as never before the question of where she belongs and how she wants to live.

About the Author
Nahid Rachlin was born in Iran and now lives in New York City.
Review
Conveys the texture of extended family, the stress of modernization, the strain of Moslem rigidity as well as the harmony of nature, of dust and carpets, fruits, sweets, tea, fine rice and gossip. Always gossip. -- Eden Lipson, "Special Edition," WNET/Thirteen
Nahid Rachlin has an intimate insider's knowledge of present-day everyday Iran --of people and places, houses, streets, and families --and she writes of them with a clarity of perception and style that makes them instantly recognizable and even homely and familiar to the reader. -- Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
Rachlin's prose carefully understates and suggests her heroine's awakening to a pervasive atmosphere of menace and sensuality; residue of a culture she thinks she has abandoned, but which continues to claim her. -- Bruce Allen, Chicago Tribune
