The heart of the matter

In a publishing world where a majority of manuscripts are printed exclusively for the benefit of marketplace, it is uncommon to find the work of a new author in print simply on its own merit and because it was too good to reject. The Septembers of Shiraz is such a book. Not only is it written from the heart, but also the soft touch in Dalia Sofer’s style is a rare gift to readers who crave good literary work.

“Where are they from?” He asked.

رستنی رستموار

هلا ای رهسپاران دلیر ساحل جیحون:

فدای مهر یک پیمان نمی بینید؟
