The Lion Women of Tehran

*The Lion Women of Tehran* is a sweeping, emotional tale of friendship, courage, and destiny set against three transformative decades in Iran. In 1950s Tehran, young Ellie’s world of privilege shatters after her father’s death, leading her to a humbler life—and a fateful friendship with Homa, a spirited girl who teaches her the meaning of strength and loyalty.

As the girls grow up amid the shifting social and political tides of Iran, their bond is tested by class, ambition, and betrayal. When revolution brews and choices become dangerous, one act will change both of their lives forever. With lyrical prose and deep emotion, Marjan Kamali delivers a story about love, loss, and the fearless women who dare to rise.
