The Septembers of Shiraz

On an Iranian summer day in 1981, Jewish gem dealer Isaac Amin is imprisoned by revolutionary guards. While he faces the brutalities of the prison, his wife and daughter struggle to maintain their balance in a suddenly inhospitable world. Based in part on her own family`s escape from Iran when she was a child, Dalia Sofer`s novel captures the tension and terror of coming under assault in your own homeland.
