- Information
Description
During the fundamentalist revolution in Iran, a 17-year-old girl is arrested by the Revolutionary Guards.
She is not political, but her brother and sister-n-law are, so she is suspect too.
She is confined in a former bathhouse with several other women ranging in age from adolescence to elderly, whose mental states vary from the stoic and care-giving to the insane.
Based on interviews with several Iranian women who had been imprisoned in such a bathhouse, this novel documents the torment they endured and honors their humanity and courage.
Winner of the 2001 Black Heron Press Award for Social Fiction.
