SUMMARY:Rodgers Readers (Evening Book Group) - The Lion Women of Tehran
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our lively book discussion on The Lion Women of 
 Tehran by Marjan Kamali.  Come share your thoughts on the book and get to 
 know other readers in our community.\n\n\n\n \n\nDescription:  In 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 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 kitchen of Homa's warm home\, wander through the stalls of the Grand 
 Bazaar and share their ambitions for becoming 'lion women'. But 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 goals for meaningful 
 futures. But as the political turmoil in Iran builds to a breaking point\, 
 one earth-shattering betrayal will have enormous consequences.\n\n\n\n 
 \n\nCopies of the book are available at the Circulation Desk while supplies 
 last.\n\n \n\n \n\nRegistration is not required\, yet it's helpful for 
 planning purposes.
