'Four decades of upheaval in Iran told through one privileged family's turbulent history - the feel for colour and language is vibrant.' The Guardian, First Novel Choice Oct 2010 'I was totally captivated by this novel. Layla is torn between her heart and the restrictions of her culture. She obeys her heart - though not without a price. This wonderfully poetic story keeps you hooked right to the very end.' Stephanie Hale, author and broadcaster 'brilliantly evokes the changing face of Iran through the eyes of a young woman caught between duty and love - Pomegranate Sky is a fine achievement, beautifully written and riveting to the final page.' Tricia Wastvedt, author of 'The River' (long-listed for the Orange Prize for Fiction) --The Guardian
'As in Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel about a restrictive culture, The Handmaid's Tale, secret rebellion and sexual freedoms are rife.' --Fat Quarter Magazine
'Vividly written, fresh and eloquent, a girl's poignant tale of love and menace in contemporary Iran.' --Fay Weldon
