The Lion Women of Tehran is a touching coming-of-age novel about friendship, courage, and the lengths to which we go to preserve both. Through lyrical, illuminating writing, Marjan Kamali brings to life the sights, smells, tastes, and sounds of Tehran. She writes about the changes in Iran’s political and cultural landscape, but she writes about them very effectively from the perspective of two quite different women. Kamali threads the idea of lionesses (shir zan in Persian) throughout the book—strong and fierce Iranian women who leap unafraid into the future. Despite the turmoil and uncertainty of through several decades, two hopeful girls indeed grow into shir zan and their journey makes this an exceptional book.
