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? 651 0 $a Tehran (Iran) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. 651 0 $a Iran $x History $y Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, 1941-1979 $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001562. 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889. 651 7 $a Iran $z Tehran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204877. 648 7 $a 1941-1979 $2 fast. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339. 941 $a 1 952 $l EXPC755 $d 20210206010518.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FE62DD96684811EBB0377CA823ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b CDFInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
