Review: Leila-Majnu of modern times. - Marjan Kamali has magnificently scripted a fresh and pure teenage love, which started in a stationery shop and bloomed in the streets, cinema halls, and youngsters' parties in Trehan. Roya, a girl from a middle-class background, gets captivated by an upper-class, wealthy, nationalist boy, Bahman. But the fate is eternally engraved on the forehead when we are born. The author has blended the political journey of Iran since the early 1950s to 2013, from the fall of the Shah in 1953, the emergence of democracy under Prime Minister Mossadegh, the coup to dethrone Mossadegh and the revival of the Shah. And finally, it was taken over in 1979 by a religious leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, who made it the Islamic Republic of Iran. The language and prose are sweet and flawless, moving like an incense stick, gentle with a soft fragrance. Ms Kamali has beautifully incorporated the downward shift of the open American culture of Shah's time of the fifties to the recent rigid and dogmatic chauvinistic regime. The writing transports us to the roadside vendors, small shops, ancient bazars, streets, backlanes, squares, mosques, cafes, festivals, celebrations and parties, unrest, demonstrations, pro and anti-government, arrests, shootings, coups, and countercoups in Trehan. The description of the cuisines is so vivid that the reader can whiff and savour the delicacies. Lastly, the cover page picture of the raw, teenage girl in a long green frock also left a mark. Overall, my first refreshing read from an Iranian author. Dr Brij Mohan Author -Second Innings. Five stars.
Review: Book review - I just love being left with the feeling of awe and sentimentality and this book hits hard with both. This tale is a depiction of having loved and then lost paired with beautiful writing. The story is so gorgeous yet so sad and leaves you overwhelmed with multiple emotions in the end. The political-historical setting is very straightforward and clear and helps in the portrayal of the culture. There is also the depiction of how time heals all but the scars are always there. It is unpredictable and unfurls the tiniest of secrets or twists all of a sudden. It also talks about the love of books, poetry and stationery shops. The love stories in the story are very passionate and at times very practical as well. I also loved the sister dynamic of Roya and Zari. The whole arc of “Why didn't you reply to my letters?” to “What letters??!!!” was as traumatizing as ever. And the ending is sad yet satisfactory.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emotional, heartbreaking, beautiful
*by A***A on 11 November 2024*

The stationary shop of Tehran is a historical romance fiction set in Tehran, Iran. The book follows a girl named Roya who loved spending her time in the stationary shop of Tehran which is also a book store where she meets a political activist Bahman Aslan. Amidst the political turmoil in Tehran, Roya and Bahman fall in love but destiny has different plans for them. The book is written so beautifully and amazingly. I just couldn't put the book down. The book is unpredictable yet it unfolds many tiny secrets from time to time. It's a story about loss and grief; regrets and guilt; political turmoil ; acceptance and forgiveness. This book made me cry so much. This book was sad and heartbreaking yet beautiful. I still feel a lump in my throat! Especially the final pages -they're so hard to get through! But it's all worth it. And to my fellow Indian readers, you guys must be familiar with the ending of Veer Zara, this book has a similar kind of ending.
