The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani

4.0

What an interesting book - this definitely didn't take the easy way when it came to the story. Nothing was predictable about this and I appreciated the main character NOT taking the normal path of this style of historical fiction. I loved that she remained unnamed throughout, and loved even more that this was done to honor anonymous Iranian authors in history after reading the acknowledgements. Definitely a time and region I haven't read much about, and that's always a bonus of historical fiction.
