Goli Taraghi weaves a rich tapestry of life in this collection of stories that glimpses into the heart of her Iranian heritage and the tumult of its recent history. Elevating the everyday to the extraordinary, Taraghi's prose breathes life into an assortment of characters, from a gracious thief to an imprisoned maid, and the Pomegranate Lady herself, adrift in her relentless quest for her lost sons. Set against the backdrop of Tehran's evolution from royal dynasty to revolutionary ruin, these narratives capture a nation's soul through the intimate lens of individual experience. Humor, heartbreak, and the human pursuit of meaning are entwined within tales that offer universal lessons on love, loss, and the peculiar humor of existence.
