The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran, written by Shida Bazyar and translated by Ruth Martin, is a polyphonic novel of one family’s flight from and return to Iran, set across four decades. Our judges said, ‘Timely, tender, political and wonderfully human, it follows an Iranian family from revolution into exile, exploring a dream of freedom that never dies.’ Link in bio to find out more about the book.
