"Funny, incisive, frightening and eminently skillful."-New York Times The year is 1978, the tumultuous period leading up to the Iranian Revolution. While visiting Iran with her husband, Chloe Fowler is left to travel alone after he is summoned home. Much to her surprise, she finds herself drawn to the country, intoxicated by each unfamiliar sight that reminds her how far from home she really is, both comforted and unsettled by the group of foreign and Iranian physicians and their wives who take her in. However, her exhilaration crashes when odd, often frightening events begin to occur, exposing the darker side of this "colonial life." Chloe is about to be liberated from everything she has ever known-in a place where her ordinary notions of reason and reality will run headlong into a wall of intrigue, and where every idea she has about herself will be put to the test. Persian Nights follows Chloe on a voyage through the seductively inexplicable, and has all the qualities one expects from the gifted author of Le Divorce-the quirky, vivid atmosphere; the intelligent, humane voice; the compelling narrative. Once again, Diane Johnson delivers an entertaining novel of an appealing woman caught up in a mysterious world of change and intrigue.

Autorenporträt
Diane Johnson has a BA Honours Psychology from the University of Victoria. While at UVic in the early 1970s, Diane lived in a six-bedroom character house in Oak Bay, on the outskirts of Victoria, British Columbia, with four other students. The experience of living in this shared home and idyllic municipality, combined with a growing awareness of Eastern spirituality and the emerging environmental movement, provided inspiration for the original version of The Bad Manor Girls Save Picturia. Diane, also known as Amethyst, currently lives in a small town near a large lake in beautiful British Columbia, where she enjoys Scrabble, Sudoku, pickleball, and being outdoors, especially when she is by the water.
