The emotions lived through a special ceremony...a dreamy voyage to a high mountain village...the touching life story of a hardworking young couple...the ways of obtaining a driving licence...the joys and sorrows of a an Iranian woman coming back to her country after fifteen years of absence, rediscovering everything anew...a visit to an island in the light-green waters of the Persian Gulf...
The Party and Other Short Stories is a delightful collection of tales that show the sunny side of daily life in the country of one thousand and one nights.
This collection of short stories paints light-heartedly, and with humour life in the Iranian society of the 1990s and early 2000s.
Episodes in the life of a mother bringing up her half-European son in the Iranian society, these stories not only reflect certain aspects of Florence Zohreh Zars personal and family life, but also her constant effort for more and more comprehension of the Iranian society.
