Sinopsis

For our unnamed confessor, the summer months spent on the Caspian Sea during the 1970s are a magically transformative experience, a welcome guest at his wealthy cousin Nilou's home and the gatekeeper of her affections. But in a moment of jealousy and youthful bravado, he betrays and humiliates an unlikely suitor, unwittingly setting into motion a series of events that will have drastic repercussions for all of them as the country is forever transformed by the Islamic Revolution a few short years later. Celebrated exiled Iranian author Javad Djavahery captures the innocence of youth, the folly of love, and the capriciousness of fate.
