The Stationary Shop is a romance laced with historical fiction set in Iran. Told through non-linear timeline, it revolved around the political condition at that time, young once-in-a-lifetime lovers, and difficult condition of one's family.
The story traced back the tangled love background history of a mother who affect the young lovers' path to the future.
I have my suspicion, but how it turned out still enraged me :((( I hate miscommunication trope. And I think they deserve better. At least the closure gave it justice π₯Ί
If you're into historical fiction romance with complicated family dynamic, the love of a mother and the lost of children, pick this book up and suffer with me.
