Disclaimer

This novel was inspired by a story my grandmother told me on the eve of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. Even though I recreated events and conversations from what she shared with me over forty years ago, in certain situations, I have added fictional conversations inspired by historical figures.

These conversations and interactions are a product of the author’s imagination, and any resemblance to actual conversations or events is purely coincidental. In some instances, I have changed the names of individuals and locations and other identifying details, such as physical properties, occupations, and places of residence.
