Zibby chats with author Marjan Kamali about THE LION WOMEN OF TEHRAN, a heartwrenching and achingly beautiful novel of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran. Marjan describes the plot of her book, which follows two girls from very different backgrounds who form a close bond, face a betrayal, and reconnect years later in America. The conversation delves into themes of trauma, healing, friendship, and women’s rights and activism. Marjan also shares her writing process (which involves a lot of longhand writing) and offers her best advice for aspiring authors.
