The story of a Kurdish boy growing up within a new Iranian nation. Laleh Khadivi is a major new voice in literary fiction.
_______________‘Bold and beautiful' - Financial Times'Remarkable' - Independent'Assured and endlessly creative' - Metro_______________A nine-year-old Kurdish boy plays in his village in the Persian mountains, gazing over the land of his fathers and forefathers. But when messengers from the hills bring whispers of war and rumours that the Shah's army is on the march, he must stand alongside his villagers and fight for their land. Years later, he can only faintly recall the brutal murder of his father and cousins. Orphaned on the battlefield, conscripted and given a new name, Reza is married and has risen up the ranks to become Captain. But there are stirrings within his heart. He will soon be sent west to Kermanshah, to rule as the Shah's servant in the land of his birth.
