About this listen

A Girl Called Rumi, Ari Honarvar’s debut novel, weaves a captivating tale of survival, redemption, and the power of storytelling.

Kimia, a successful spiritual advisor whose Iranian childhood continues to haunt her, collides with a mysterious giant bird in her mother’s California garage. She begins reliving her experience as a nine-year-old girl in war-torn Iran, including her friendship with a mystical storyteller who led her through the mythic Seven Valleys of Love.

Grappling with her unresolved past, Kimia agrees to accompany her ailing mother back to Iran, only to arrive in the midst of the Green Uprising in the streets. Against the backdrop of the election protests, Kimia begins to unravel the secrets of the night that broke her mother and produced a dangerous enemy. As past and present collide, she must choose between running away again or completing her unfinished journey through the Valley of Death to save her brother.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The speaker has an Arabic accent …

I am grossly offended by the reader when depicting an Iranian girl in the thick of the revolution, having an Arabic accent, as well as her mother. The whole point is to expose accurate Iranian culture … It’s so immaculate and racist, I’m angry just listening to this. What ignorant persom was in charge of this horrifically racist and again inaccurate decision making? I actually want to post this everywhere. I almost wish someone would respond to me I honestly can’t listen to this.. as if people don’t call Persians any other culture already, this is severely messed up…
