76 reviews“Once I glanced at this book I couldn’t stop reading, staying up late to gallop through this harrowing, beautiful, surprising novel in one evening. It is an evocation of characters I came to care about, a portrait of everyday life in contemporary Iran, & a profound depiction of gender roles as prisons, & of who escapes these prisons at what cost.” — Rebecca Solnit
A sweeping, propulsive novel about the families we are born into & the families we make for ourselves, in which a man struggles to find his place in an Iran on the brink of combusting. Vibrant & evocative, intimate and intelligent, A Nearby Country Called Love is both a captivating window into contemporary Iran & a portrait of the parallel fates of a man and his country—a man who acknowledges the sullen & rumbling baggage of history but then chooses to step past its violent inheritance.
