Requests:  0 Summary:  "A spellbinding debut novel about the trailblazing Iranian poet Forugh Farrokhzad, who defied society's expectations to find her voice and her destiny. "Remember the flight, for the bird is mortal." All through her childhood in Tehran, Forugh Farrokhzad is told that Persian daughters should be quiet and modest. She is taught only to obey, but she always finds ways to rebel, gossiping with her sister among the fragrant roses of her mother's walled garden, venturing to the forbidden rooftop to roughhouse with her three brothers, writing poems to impress her strict, disapproving father, and sneaking out to flirt with a teenage paramour over café glacé. During the summer of 1950, Forugh's passion for poetry takes flight, and tradition seeks to clip her wings. Forced into a suffocating marriage, Forugh runs away and falls into an affair that fuels her desire to write and to achieve freedom and independence. Forugh's poems are considered both scandalous and brilliant; she is heralded by some as a national treasure, vilified by others as a demon influenced by the West. She perseveres, finding love with a notorious filmmaker and living by her own rules, at enormous cost. But the power of her writing only grows stronger amid the upheaval of the Iranian revolution. Inspired by Forugh Farrokhzad's verse, letters, films, and interviews, and including original translations of her poems, this haunting novel uses the lens of fiction to capture the tenacity, spirit, and conflicting desires of a brave woman who represents the birth of feminism in Iran, and who continues to inspire generations of women around the world." --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Darznik   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Darznik   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Darznik   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Darznik Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Darznik   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lanai P/S Library Adult Fiction Darznik   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Darznik   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Darznik   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
