More about the book
The victim of a mother. The search of a daughter. The secret of a woman. When Jasmin discovers an old wedding photo of her mother Lili standing next to a strange man after her German father's death, she confronts her mother, but Lili remains silent. Later, Jasmin receives ten cassette tapes in which Lili, originally from Iran, recounts her life story. Jasmin learns about a woman she barely knows—her mother's tragic past and her unhappy forced marriage to an older man. She immerses herself in a distant, exotic world where different rules apply to women—and where another daughter lives.
