Description
Clarice Ayvazian's life is one of comfort and routine, surrounded by the gentle bickering of her children and the gossiping friends and relatives who make up her close-knit community. However, when an enigmatic Armenian family moves in across the street, Clarice begins to feel a stirring sense of discontent. As she becomes increasingly aware of the complexities and compromises that underpin her own happiness, she starts to feel herself coming alive to possibilities previously unimaginable. Set against the backdrop of Iran prior to the Islamic revolution, this novel crafts an intimate portrait of family life, exploring its joys and challenges with humour and insight. With a nuanced understanding of the hopes and aspirations of Iranians in the years leading up to this pivotal moment in history, Zoya Pirzad's writing offers a pointed commentary on the human experience. With its thoughtful exploration of happiness and contentment, Things We Left Unsaid is a compelling read for anyone interested in character-driven fiction.
