      A poignant, heartfelt new novel by the award-nominated author of Together Tea that explores loss, reconciliation, and the quirks of fate. Roya, a dreamy, idealistic teenager living amid the political upheaval of 1953 Tehran, finds a literary oasis in kindly Mr. Fakhri’s neighborhood stationery shop, stocked with books and pens and bottles of jewel-colored ink. Then Mr. Fakhri, with a keen instinct for a budding romance, introduces Roya to his other favorite customer—handsome Bahman, who has a burning passion for justice and a love for Rumi’s poetry—and she loses her heart at once. Their romance blossoms, and the little stationery shop remains their favorite place in all of Tehran. A few short months later, on the eve of their marriage, Roya agrees to meet Bahman at the town square when violence erupts—a result of the coup d’etat that forever changes their country’s future. In the chaos, Bahman never shows. For weeks, Roya tries desperately to contact him, but her efforts are fruitless. With a sorrowful heart, she moves on—to college in California, to another man, to a life in New England—until, more than sixty years later, an accident of fate leads her back to Bahman and offers her a chance to ask him the questions that have haunted her for more than half a century: Why did you leave? Where did you go? How is it that you were able to forget me?

      1953’ün İran’ında başlayan ve 2013’ün ABD’sine kadar uzanan bir aşk hikâyesi.. Roya Kayhani ve Bahman Aslan, 1953 yılında Tahran’daki bir kırtasiye dükkanında karşılaşırlar; ikisi de 17 yaşındadır. Roya edebiyata düşkün bir genç kızdır ve Bay Fahri’nin kitaplar, kağıtlar, dolma kalemler ve renkli mürekkep şişeleriyle dolu kırtasiye dükkanı onun huzur bulduğu bir vahadır. Bahman, Mevlâna’nın şiirlerine düşkün ve demokratik bir İran arzuzsuyla tutuşan çoşkulu bir delikanlıdır. Her salı günü kırtasiye dükkanında buluşan ikili arasında kısa sürede bir aşk filizlenir. Ancak o yıl Şah yanlısı güçlerin gerçekleştirdiği darbe, hem İran’ın demokratik ve bağımsız bir ülke olma yolunda ilerleyişine son verecek hem de Roya ve Bahman’ın yollarının beklenmedik bir şekilde ayrılmasına neden olacaktır. Aradan 60 yıl geçtikten sonra, Roya ülkesinden uzak Amerika’da kurduğu hayatını sürdürürken, kader onları bir kez daha karşı karşıya getirecektir. Roya yarım yüzyıldan uzun bir süredir aradığı cevapları bulma fırsatını nihayet yakalamıştır: Bahman o darbe günü niye ortadan kaybolmuştu? Roya’yı niye terk etmişti? Roya’yı nasıl unutabilmişti?
