Synopsis
When sixteen year old Parveen is invited to spend some time at her divorced father's home in Persia, she is excited to visit the country she left thirteen years ago and cannot remember. Life in Ali-abad is very different to Chicago and she both is challenged by and challenges what she finds. When she meets an attractive young neighbour, also Persian-born and western-educated, which culture will govern their relationship? Is she being trapped into a marriage to satisfy a custom that she does not believe in? Can she trust to help her or will she be held hostage in this alien culture?

About the book >.>.> Parveen Book by Anne MehdeviIn 1920, sixteen-year-old Parveen Daftar leaves her mother in America to visit her father at his estate in Ali-abad, Khorasan, in northern Persia. Although she spent only three years of her early life there, Parveen has always felt that part of her belongs to the place. She knows her mother was bitterly unhappy during their time in Ali-abad, and seeks to understand both that unhappiness and her parents? separation. As Parveen adjusts to life in her father?s world, she encounters the beauty of the Persian countryside and the slow, unstructured routine of the andarum. The birth of a third daughter also brings consequences that threaten her young stepmother. These experiences help Parveen make sense of her parents? decision and prompt her to consider the possibility of staying in Persia, urged by the neighbouring landowner, Aga Javad. (LL).
