The Persians is a darkly humorous and moving debut novel by Sanam Mahloudji about the complex, colourful Valiat family. Once celebrated in Iran, they now struggle to find their place in America after the revolution. Following the regal matriarch and her scattered daughters and granddaughters across Tehran, Houston, and New York, the story is a witty, generation-spanning look at identity, legacy, and what it truly means to belong when your past is worlds away.
