NATIONAL BESTSELLER

An “evocative read and a powerful portrait of friendship, feminism, and political activism” (People) set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran—from nationally bestselling author Marjan Kamali.

In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams for a friend to alleviate her isolation.

Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.”

But their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.

Together, the two young women come of age and pursue their own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point, one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.

“Reminiscent of The Kite Runner and My Brilliant Friend, The Lion Women of Tehran is a mesmerizing tale” (BookPage) of love and courage, and a sweeping exploration of how profoundly we are shaped by those we meet when we are young.

Wonderful story Awful Narration

Why o why can't we get narrators that can pronounce words in Farsi correctly? The person narrating Elahe's parts pronounces even the name Elahe with an American accent! I rather have narrators that read with a Persian accent but pronounce the Farsi words and phrases authentically than narrators that have crisp American accents. I now wish I had read the physical book rather than listened to it because it was so irksome to listen to these accents.

Amazing writing

This was an amazing read. Don’t hesitate. The story was easy to follow, had me on the edge of my chair wanting to know what happened next and also tugged at my heart. I will absolutely read another book by this author.

The strength of the Iranian women.

This book is similar to Marjan Kamali other book the stationary shop. It’s a different story with different characters and takes place during times of oppression, revolution, and the fight for democracy.

Women’s Legacies

Loved the characters, the historical content and the storyline. Each character was developed with such depth that I felt I knew them intimately. The ability for me to be intrigued to know the most I could know even when I disliked the character is not usual for me. Sadly I see so much of this story being repeated in the US right now.
