The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali

"A novel set in 1953 Tehran against the backdrop of the Iranian Coup about a young couple in love who are separated on the eve of their marriage, and who are reunited sixty years later, after having moved on to live independent lives in America, to discover the truth about what happened on that fateful day in the town square." (Goodreads.com)


Starting out in time and place that is very different from our own, I enjoyed reading this book because you got to take a glimpse into another culture and the struggles that they faced. This was also a beautiful love story that shows just how love can sweep you off your feet but also how it can affect you when it is taken away. I would recommend this is you like historical romances.
