Beschreibung:
Anahita Firouz entstammt dem früheren persischen Königshaus und gehört zu den Flüchtlingen der Revolution von 1978. "Der verborgene Garten" ist ihr Romanerstling, der bei Erscheinen in den USA, wo Anahita Firouz heute lebt, für Furore sorgte.
Set in the exotic, seductive world of pre-revolutionary Iran, In the Walled Garden tells the nostalgic and moving story of Mahastee and Reza, who loved each other as children but have not seen each other for 20 years. Mahastee, who has become trapped by the privileged society she has grown up in, is struggling to keep her identity in the face of the increasingly empty role she inhabits. Reza has grown up to become a Marxist revolutionary, leading underground meetings and living on the edge. When chance brings the two together again, their encounters are a portrait not only of an ill-fated love, but of two worlds at odds, moving ever closer to a doomed collision.
