A captivating, polyphonic novel of one family's flight from and return to Iran. 1979. Behsad, a young communist revolutionary, fights with his friends for a new order after the Shah's expulsion.

With their young children, they spend hour after hour in front of the radio, hoping for news from others who went into hiding after the mullahs came to power. 1999. Laleh returns to Iran with her mother, Nahid. Between beauty rituals and family secrets, she gets to know a Tehran that hardly matches her childhood memories. 2009.
