A Novel
Author:

Narrator:
Sneha Mathan
Growing up in 1980s Iran, eleven-year-old Saba and her twin sister are fascinated by America, collecting contraband copies of Life magazine and Beatles cassettes. So when Saba suddenly finds herself alone with her father in Iran, she is certain that her mother and sister have moved to America without her. Over the next several years, as Saba falls in and out of love and struggles with the limited possibilities for women in Iran, she imagines a parallel life, a Western version, for her sister. But where Saba’s story has all the grit of real life in postrevolutionary Iran, her sister’s life—as Saba envisions it—gives her a freedom and control that Saba can only dream of.
