Set in Tehran during the aftermath of the 1979 revolution, Dalia Sofer's The Septembers of Shiraz follows the Amin family as they cope with the father's false imprisonment for being a spy, watch their formerly peaceful world collapse, and flee their homeland.

"[A] richly evocative, powerfully affecting depiction of a prosperous Jewish family in Tehran shortly after the revolution . . . it's impossible to predict whether Sofer's novel will become a classic, but it certainly stands a chance . . . the book's simple plot is immediately engaging. . . . Sofer writes beautifully . . . and she tells her characters' stories with deceptive simplicity . . . The Septembers of Shiraz is miraculously light in its touch, as beautiful and delicate as a book about suffering can be."-Claire Messud, New York Times Book Review
