ABOUT THE BOOK
Savushun (pronounced 'sa-voo-shoon') is a folk tradition, surviving in Southern Iran from an undateable pre-islamic past, that conjures hope in spite of everything.
The novel chronicles the life of a Persian family during the World War II Allied occupation of Iran. It is set in Shiraz, a town which evokes images of Persepolis and pre-islamic monuments, the great Persian poets, the shrines, sufis and nomadic tribes all within a historical web of the interests, privilege and influence of foreign powers, corruption, incompetence and arrogance of persons in authority.
The story is seen through the eyes of Zari, a young wife and mother, who copes with her idealistic husband while struggling with her desire for traditional family life and her need for an individual identity.
