Rezensionen

'A wonderful multi-generational family drama with characters you really care about. I'm still thinking about them now. I enjoyed it enormously' Marian Keyes, author of My Favourite Mistake

'The Persians is a glorious feat of juggling. Five women's voices becoming an irresistible whole in this darkly funny, richly satisfying, wonderful debut' Sarah Winman, author of Still Life

'At once funny and profound, sprawling and personal, The Persians questions history's grip on our lives-is it possible to free ourselves from the past, and do we even want to? A gloriously engrossing debut' Tash Aw, author of We, The Survivors

'An epic of intricate and beautiful proportion, The Persians is exuberant, comic and perceptive' Amina Cain, author of Indelicacy

'A witty and deeply absorbing saga of a family whose fate is intertwined with modern Iran's ... These five fierce, passionate, wounded women are at once tragic and hilarious, each voice meticulously crafted and singularly true' Dina Nayeri, author of Who Gets Believed?

'Filled with heartbreak, humour, and so much love, The Persians is a sharp exploration of the concerns of a wealthy Iranian family. Sanam Mahloudji takes us on a journey to reshape our understanding of power, heritage, and ancestry - and brings a rare wisdom to the chaos of family' Vanessa Chan, author of the international bestseller, The Storm We Made

'Glitzy, gutsy and deliciously dark, a romp with serious things to say about misogyny, generational trauma and losing your home' Samantha Ellis, author of Take Courage

'An irresistible novel about a singular, yet wholly recognizable, family. I fell in love with the women in the Valiat family: by turns feisty and foolish, wise and secretive, and full of so much love and longing it took my breath away' Edan Lepuncki, author of California

'Half outrageous, compulsive, shameless; half tender, loving and funny: Sanam Mahloudji's The Persians is a very brilliant, very special book' Jessica Stanley, author of A Great Hope
