Description
"Anita Amirrezvani discusses her acclaimed novel, The Blood of Flowers, which is set in seventeenth century Persia, and tells the story of a teenage girl as she and her mother seek to establish a new life and destiny following the death of her father. The Blood of Flowers offers a rare look into the lives of Iranian women of the time, and transports readers to the vibrant markets of Isfahan, the cool stone rooms of the Shah's royal rug workshop, and the privacy of the hammam, one of the few places where women may reveal themselves. Amirrezvani's novel weaves centuries-old folklore and craft traditions into an observation of gender roles and cultural mores that are as timely today as ever."More Info
