This New York Times Notable Book—a “story that needs to be told” (Library Journal, starred review)—is the critically lauded, best-selling debut from Iranian-born author Dalia Sofer. Wrongly accused of spying after the Iranian Revolution, Isaac Amin is tossed into prison, forcing his wife to desperately search for him. “A remarkable debut … richly evocative, powerfully affecting … as beautiful and delicate as a book about suffering can be.”—New York Times Book Review
