Ziba is a powerful and emotional read set during the Iranian Revolution. It tells the story of Ziba, a woman stuck in a loveless royal marriage, and her daughter Nasreen, a bold poet fighting against the system. Their relationship is tense and complicated, and the book does a great job showing how personal and political struggles overlap.
The writing is poetic and sometimes jumps around in time, which can be a little confusing, but it fits the story's mood. Some of the male characters felt a bit flat, but the female voices were strong and compelling.
