Good book but a bit difficult to follow as the voice changes frequently. Reza and Mahastee have known eachother since childhood as Reza's father managed Mahastee's family estate. They were separated by circumstance for years after they shared a kiss at the age of 16, they are known thrown back together as each has a friend taken by Iran's SAVAK, the secret police, and work to find information.

Interesting portrait of human relationships and pre-revolution Iran.
