In 1988 Iran, wealthy fifteen-year-old Farrin's burgeoning romance with new girl Sadira leads her to become more involved in the world around her, and eventually leads to the couple's discovery and persecution. Ellis skillfully introduces readers to the social and political backdrop, showing in troubling detail how fear, suspicion, and historical animosities fragment Farrin's world and limit her freedom.
