Zohreh Ghahremani: The Moon Daughter
Zoe Ghahremani will discuss and sign her family saga, The Moon Daughter, exploring the universal dynamics of mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and the struggles that define us.
In 1970s Iran, where marital rights and gender roles are maintained with tradition and fervor, Rana must make the hardest decision of her life when she gives birth to another girl instead of the son that her husband demands. This sets in motion a chain of events rippling through the next generation.
