A haunting love story between a young Israeli translator and a Palestinian painter.
'In ihrer Hochzeitsnacht war Solis Gesicht ihr so nah, dass sie jedes eingewobene Lachfältchen sah. Iranis Hochzeitskleid, von ihrer Mutter aus 5854 Perlen und einem einzigen weißen Faden gefertigt, schimmerte vor seinen Augen wie leuchtendes Elfenbein.' Mit magischen Geschichten aus ihrem eigenen Leben, von persischen Vorfahren und zukünftigen Hochzeiten macht Irani Asisyan ihren Töchtern Hoffnung auf das Glück. Bestsellerautorin Dorit Rabinyan entwirft das Schicksal einer Familie mit orientalischer Fabulierlust. 'Opulent, fantasievoll, satt an Bildern.' Brigitte
This novel explores the lives of two young Jewish girls in a Persian village at the turn of the century. 11-year-old Nazie is waiting to marry her cousin Moussa, but must wait until she starts menstruating. 15-year-old Flora is married, pregnant and seemingly abandoned.
While eleven-year-old Nazie has long been engaged to her cousin Moussa and anxiously awaits her marriage, fifteen-year-old Flora has been abandoned by her husband in the midst of a difficult pregnancy. In a novel brimming with vitality and sensuality - smells, colours and textures float effortlessly off the page - Rabinyan examines the lives of these young Jewish girls in a Persian village at the beginning of the twentieth century. Persian Brides is a widely-acclaimed, vibrant and award-winning debut of immense emotional power.
