About this listen

If you liked The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul and enjoyed The Beekeeper of Aleppo, you will love The Stationery Shop of Tehran

1953, Tehran. In a small shop in a country on the brink of unrest, two people meet for the very first time.

Roya loves nothing better than to while away the hours in the stationery shop run by Mr Fakhri. The store, stocked with fountain pens, shiny ink bottles, and thick wads of writing paper, also carries translations of literature from all over the world. Bahman, with his burning passion for justice, is like no one else she has ever met.

But all around them, as their relationship blossoms, life in Tehran is changing.

Suddenly, shockingly, violence erupts: a coup d'etat that forever changes their country's future, as well as their own.

Marjan Kamali's beautiful novel explores themes of love and loss, and delivers and unforgettable ending.

Critic reviews

"A moving tale of lost love." (The Wall Street Journal)

"Marjan Kamali weaves a powerful, heartbreaking story of star-crossed lovers and Iran's political upheavals...The Stationery Shop of Tehran is at once a layered historical saga of a country struggling toward democracy and an intimate meditation on "a love from which we never recover." (Shelf Awareness)

Beautiful!

Beautifully written novel, one of my favourites in a while. Mozhan Marnò’s voice lends so well to the story and it’s characters. Definitely worth the listen!!
