September Book Club: The Stationary Shop by Marjan Kamali

Join me to read about Roya, a dreamy teenager in 1953 Tehran who finds solace in a local stationery shop. There, she meets Bahman, a passionate young man who shares her love for poetry, and they quickly fall in love. But on the eve of their wedding, political unrest and a coup tear them apart when Bahman never shows at their meeting place. Heartbroken, Roya moves on, believing she’s lost him forever. Decades later, fate brings them back together, giving Roya the chance to finally uncover the truth behind their separation.
