A heartfelt, epic new novel of friendship, betrayal and redemption set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran.

'The Lion Women of Tehran' completely captivated me; it’s easily one of the best books I’ve read in years, and now firmly sits in my top 10 best books ever. I felt an immediate and deep connection with the female characters, drawn to their strength, struggles, and resilience. The historical context was both fascinating and profoundly tragic, and the novel’s exploration of class distinction, along with themes of family, loyalty, and friendship, is masterfully woven throughout. Just when I thought I knew the story, a final revelation took me by surprise, making me love the main characters even more. 'The Lion Women of Tehran' was more than just a well-written novel; it was an emotional experience that will stay with me for a long time.
