Parpin Flowers
Parpin Flowers is a tale describing the destinies of several Iranian families, beginning immediately after the First World War, and continuing up to and into the 1980s. The main character, Amena, grows up together with her brothers and friends in a land marked by political complication, inner and outer turmoil, social divisions and sometimes cruel persecution. At an early age, Amena’s mother brings her to a fortune teller who burns the child’s foot in an effort to ward off demons. The scars from this event bear the seeds of hate and revenge in the young girl’s heart for years to come.
