A poignant and beautifully written story of three generations of Iranian women

‘With this one word, Lili had finally understood many things- that no matter what she promised or sacrificed or gave, she would always be 'broken’ to her daughter.‘

When Jasmin Darznik finds a photo among her father’s possessions shortly after his death, she recognises the child in the veil and bride’s clothes as her mother, Lili, but the groom is unfamiliar.

Who had her mother married all those years before? A few months later Lili sends Jasmin ten cassette tapes which reveal the secret history of their family- the true story of the abusive man she married, and the daughter she was forced to leave behind.

This is an unforgettable story of secrets, betrayal and exile, and of an unshakeable mother-daughter bond.
