    • A travers le destin d'Arezou, une femme iranienne, active et divorcée, écartelée entre sa mère et sa fille, trois générations s'affrontent dans un monde où règnent depuis longtemps les interdits et le non-dit. On la suit au bord du rire ou des larmes, espérant avec elle profiter enfin d'une certaine beauté de la vie. Dans un roman d'une richesse et d'une vigueur exceptionnelles, Zoyâ Pirzâd brosse à la fois le portrait d'une société pleine de contradictions et celui d'une femme passionnante, aussi drôle et attachante qu'une héroïne de Jane Austen.

      Deep in an Iranian suburb, made rich by the booming oil industry, Clarice Ayvazian lives a comfortable life surrounded by the gentle bickering of her children and her gossiping friends and relatives. Happy being at the heart of her family, she devotes herself to their every need. But when an enigmatic Armenian family move in across the street, something begins to gnaw at Clarice's contentment: a feeling that there may be more to life – and to her – than this. Dizzy with the sweltering heat and simmering emotions, Clarice begins to feel herself come alive to possibilities previously unimaginable. Set in Iran prior to the Islamic revolution, Zoya Pirzad's award-winning novel crafts an intimate portrait of family life – its joys and its compromises – and how we find a happiness that endures. For fans of Anne Tyler, Things We Left Unsaid is a humourous and pointed insight into the hopes and aspirations of Iranians in the years that led to the Islamic Revolution.
