A review by readtotheend
The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Once I started reading this book, I just could not stop. I even read it while brushing my teeth and I haven't done that since I was a child.  The story swept me away. My heart hurt for many of the characters. I learned more about Tehran in the 1950s. It's tragic in some ways but still heartbreakingly beautiful. I loved The Lion Women of Tehran and now want to re-read it after reading this book. Roya and Bahman will be in my heart a long time. This book was wonderful on audio and in print, can't go wrong either way. Just amazing storytelling.
