À propos de cet audio
From the award-winning author of Together Tea - a debut novel hailed as “compassionate, funny, and wise” by Jill Davis, best-selling author of Girls’ Poker Night - comes a powerful love story exploring loss, reconciliation, and the quirks of fate.
Roya is a dreamy, idealistic teenager living in 1953 Tehran who, amid the political upheaval of the time, finds a literary oasis in kindly Mr. Fakhri’s neighborhood book and stationery shop. She always feels safe in his dusty store, overflowing with fountain pens, shiny ink bottles, and thick pads of soft writing paper.
When Mr. Fakhri, with a keen instinct for a budding romance, introduces Roya to his other favorite customer - handsome Bahman, who has a burning passion for justice and a love for Rumi’s poetry - she loses her heart at once. As their romance blossoms, the modest 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, but suddenly, 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 resigns herself to never seeing him again.
Until, more than 60 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 he leave? Where did he go? How was he able to forget her?
The Stationery Shop is a beautiful and timely exploration of devastating loss, unbreakable family bonds, and the overwhelming power of love.

Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors daily.

And that's exactly the way Cooper wants it, because he's got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin’s shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she’s starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her - and he’s still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Mozhan Marnò gives an extraordinary narration of this audiobook... Marnò's expressive narration reveals every nuance of Roya's emotional journey.... Sensitive portrayals of Roya's family and friends, and vivid descriptions of Iranian food and customs, add depth to this moving listen." (AudioFile Magazine)

I wish I could read this for the first time again
I picked this book up during Audible’s $5 sale recently. This is Such a beautiful story and wonderfully narrated. Beautiful development of the characters and I loved the history of Tehran / Iran. I don’t often long to reread a book but I think I will be looking for a hard copy of this book to lose myself in.

When traditions can actually break my love.
Love the development of the characters and how it takes you back and forth into the story of these individuals and the differences that traditions and cultures can make in finding real love

This book was a full experience. I enjoyed learning about Tehran history. I also loved the descriptions of food/spices, city streets, family dynamics, and culture. The story has action and twists/turn that keep the reader engaged.

Not the greatest
The author was trying to do so many different things without doing any of them well. It was like a pot that she put everything she found in it. So predictable, and full of unnecessary dramas.
