A best-selling author in her native country & widely anthologized in the United States & around the world, Taraghi`s work is now made fully accessible to an English-speaking audience in this standout & long-awaited volume of selected stories, selected as a Best Book of 2013 by staff & critics at National Public Radio. Drawing on childhood experiences in Tehran during the reign of the Shah, her exile in Paris, & her subsequent visits to Tehran after the revolution, Taraghi develops characters & tales that linger in one`s mind. In the title story, a woman traveling from Tehran to Paris is obliged to help an old woman-the Pomegranate Lady-find her way to her fugitive sons in Sweden.
