History can be both intriguing and entertaining; Maryam Tabibzadeh’s rich novel invites the readers to experience fifty years of ancient Persian history, love, and despair through the eyes of its passionate main characters.
Husrō-Parviz: The almighty and powerful king of the Persian Empire who cannot have woman he loves because of duty to his country.
Shirin: Strong and ambitious, the beautiful princess of Armenia refuses to become the impressive king’s mistress. Even with the handsome and devoted Farhad by her side, she is unable to forget her first and forever love Husrō-Parviz.
Farhad: The handsome artist who would give his life for Princess Shirin.
Tabibzadeh tells the tale of Husrō and Shirin in a practiced, polished manner, capturing the poetry of this ancient story and its worldliness. This novel is the translation of beautiful epic verses originally written by Nizami, the famous Persian poet, in the 5th century. It is based on a true love story that rivals Romeo and Juliette and is sweeter than any romance ever written. Excerpts like,
“That evening, when the night spread its hair, covering the world in darkness, Parviz went home and recited his prayers”
deluge readers in the breathtaking imagery of the culture.
