Set in Buenos Aires during the Falklands War, this is the story of a group of displaced Iranian refugees living in a multi-level Beaux Arts building in the city centre. The inhabitants of the building form an eclectic community: a poetry loving ex-prisoner and his daughter;,a promising medical student; a visionary beautician; a newlywed couple with a dark past; a young revolutionary; an eccentric pilgrim of Mecca; and at the heart of the group Zadi Heirati, a single mother struggling to make ends meet at the beauty salon she operates from her apartment. Drawn together by a revolution in their homeland, they find solace in weekly poetry meetings. The words they share inspire each to turn inward and discover beauty long buried. As a new war unfolds in their adopted country, this group of disenchanted individuals begins to form a family. At once familiar and extraordinary, this morving story weaves disparate lives together into a tapestry of unique grace, wit and lyricism. No library descriptions found. |
