"Iranian French author Parisa Reza’s stunning debut, The Gardens of Consolation unfolds over decades of fascinating Iranian history and culture, from the fall of the Qajar dynasty to the nationalization of oil, all seen through the eyes of one remarkable peasant family...The novel pulls you in like a waking dream. The writing is lush and evocative...this is not so much a story of history, of political upheaval, as a rich, intimate story of people."
