Roya is a teenage girl in Iran amidst the political turbulence of the 1950's when she meets Bahman in the Stationery Shop. They fall deeply in love and plan to marry when Bahman disappears and fails to meet Roya at a designated spot. Roya is heartbroken and confused but eventually moves on with her life and moves to America. She doesn't think she will ever hear from Bahman again until a chance encounter in another Stationery Shop while she is in her seventies brings her into his orbit again. This book will stay with me for a while. It beautifully explores time and how though it passes, experiences and emotions are carried throughout, and sometime time circles back around in unexpected ways. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
