Maryam Tabibzadeh?s rich novel invites the reader to experience one hundred years of Iranian history through the eyes of its passionate characters.

Talah: Born in the late nineteenth century to a well-to-do family, she must find a way
to survive after the loss of her second husband.

Baback: In an era of great social change, Talah's first son struggles with his faith as he becomes involved in a heated love affair.

that is largely unknown to Westerners, revealing a family, and a story you will never forget.

Shirley Roe, Allbooks Review

Persian Dreams are the dreams of the women of Persia/Iran;dreams of freedom of choice, freedom to choose the man they wish to marry and freedom to become all that they can be.

Maryam Tabibzadeh is a born storyteller. She draws the reader into the story with magnificent detail, heart wrenching emotion and lifelike characters. Persian Dreams is the fascinating story of three generations.
