The Afghan Wife

During the volatile times that followed the Iranian revolution in 1979, Zahra, her husband and son are forced to leave their homeland of Afghanistan with her revolutionary activist cousin, Firzun.

Zahra’s life becomes embroiled with Firzun’s, as her cousin joins the violent opposition to the new regime in Iran. Complexities increase as she again meets Karim, a man she’s loved since she was a teenager.

As the political turmoil unfolds, Zahra must choose between love and family loyalty.

Her first novel The Afghan Wife is a love story set against the background of the Iranian Revolution in 1979. She’s currently working on a sequel.
