Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
This “tenderhearted debut” depicts a family against the harrowing backdrop of the 1979 Iranian revolution, “showing the enduring ramifications of filial and political violence” (New Yorker). “So evocative you’ll nearly be able to smell the orange trees in the family's orchard.” —Refinery29 The year is 1979. The Iranian Revolution is just around the corner. In the northeastern city of Naishapur, a retired judge and his wife, Bibi–Khanoom, continue to run their ancient family orchard, growing apples, plums, peaches, and sour cherries. The days here are marked by long, elaborate lunches on the terrace where the judge and his wife mediate disputes between aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews that foreshadow the looming national crisis to come. Will the monarchy survive the revolutionary tide gathering across the country? Will the judge’s brother, a powerful cleric, take political control of the town or remain only a religious leader? And yet, life goes on. Bibi–Khanoom’s grandniece secretly falls in love with the judge’s grandnephew and dreams of a career on the stage. His other grandnephew withers away on opium dreams. A widowed father longs for a life in Europe. A strained marriage slowly unravels. The orchard trees bloom and fruit as the streets in the capital grow violent. And a once–in–a–lifetime solar eclipse, set to occur on one of the holiest days of year, finally causes the family—and the country—to break. Told through a host of unforgettable characters, ranging from servants and young children to intimate friends, To Keep the Sun Alive reveals the personal behind the political, reminding us of the human lives that animate historical events.

Book Description
What happens when the kids leave for college and you remember you're not just mom, but a woman too? Simply going through the motions, on autopilot day after day, weighed heavily on me. The one thing which bonded my husband and me, before the kids came along, was slowly cast aside as their needs grew more demanding. Intimacy became an act; a performance, without the desire, passion, and lust we once shared. My need to feel desired and wanted by my husband ate at me and I was determined to make him see the woman he married. I wasn't going to give up and hatched a plan, one which would hopefully forge a new beginning for us. Fighting to keep our love alive was a risk, but, for us, I was prepared to do anything.
