Disoriental - Negar Djavadi

The story of a young girl and her family, at the core of an exploration of Iranian history. Kimia and her family fled Iran when she was 10. Now 25, in the waiting room of a fertility clinic, she is inundated by her own memories and the stories of her ancestors. Yet it is Kimiâ herself—punk-rock aficionado, storyteller extraordinaire, a Scheherazade of our time, and above all a modern woman divided between family traditions and her own “disorientalization”—who forms the heart of this bestselling and beloved novel.
