SUMMARY:#BookTalk: The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali
DESCRIPTION:Do you love reading and talking about books? Join us to discuss 
 a recently popular title each month! We meet in person at the Central 
 Branch of the Floyd County Library (180 W. Spring Street.) You can pick up 
 a print copy of the book at the Upper Customer Service Desk\, or download 
 an eBook or audiobook from Libby. Don’t miss this opportunity to share 
 your thoughts and insights with other 
 readers.\n\n=====================\n\nIn 1950s Tehran\, seven-year-old Ellie 
 lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father\, forcing 
 Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing 
 the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances\, Ellie dreams of a friend 
 to alleviate her isolation.\n\nLuckily\, on the first day of school\, she 
 meets Homa\, a kind\, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible 
 spirit. Together\, the two girls play games\, learn to cook in the stone 
 kitchen of Homa’s warm home\, wander through the colorful stalls of the 
 Grand Bazaar\, and share their ambitions for becoming “lion 
 women.”\n\nBut their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are 
 afforded the opportunity to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a 
 popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran\, Ellie’s 
 memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later\, however\, her sudden 
 reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of 
 their lives.\n\nTogether\, the two young women come of age and pursue their 
 own goals for meaningful futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran 
 builds to a breaking point\, one earth-shattering betrayal will have 
 enormous consequences.
