SUMMARY:Virtual Fiction Book Club: The Stationery Shop
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we discuss The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali \nBooks available at the Adult Help Desk\n\n \n\nRoya\, a dreamy\, idealistic teenager living amid the political upheaval of 1953 Tehran\, finds a literary oasis in kindly Mr. Fakhri's neighborhood stationery shop\, stocked with books and pens and bottles of jewel-colored ink.\n\n\n\nThen Mr. Fakhri\, with a keen instinct for a budding romance\, introduces Roya to his other favorite customer handsome Bahman\, who has a burning passion for justice and a love for Rumi's poetry and she loses her heart at once. Their romance blossoms\, and the little stationery shop remains their favorite place in all of Tehran.\n\n\n\nA few short months later\, on the eve of their marriage\, Roya agrees to meet Bahman at the town square when violence erupts a result of the coup d'etat that forever changes their country's future. In the chaos\, Bahman never shows. For weeks\, Roya tries desperately to contact him\, but her efforts are fruitless. With a sorrowful heart\, she moves on to college in California\, to another man\, to a life in New England until\, more than sixty years later\, an accident of fate leads her back to Bahman and offers her a chance to ask him the questions that have haunted her for more than half a century: Why did you leave? Where did you go? How is it that you were able to forget me?\n\n\n\nREGISTER by clicking here.
