At times this is
quite a chilling and a moving story about different generations of
Persian women from one family. Headed by Pari, who marries a man who
already has one wife. Pari's husband is head of a village, so Pari
becomes the Zan-Arbab, the Women Master who everybody goes to if they
need help and advice. The story moves through Pari's lifetime and the
changes she goes through. It is about tradition and the ways that
women have to do what is expected of them. There are some scenes
towards the end of the book that the reader may find disturbing and
uncomfortable. The author does present the story well and it is
beautifully written. I would read more books by this author in the
future.
