On Courage, Turmoil, and the Transformative Power of Love with Marjan Kamali

The Lion Women of Tehran is set in the 1950s Tehran. Seven-year-old Ellie lives in comfort until the death of her father forces Ellie and her mother to move. Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.” Years later, as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one betrayal will have enormous consequences.

Marjan Kamali is the New York Times bestselling author of The Lion Women of Tehran, The Stationery Shop and Together Tea. Her books have been translated into over 30 languages, and she lives with her family in the Boston area.
