About this listen
If you liked The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul and enjoyed The Beekeeper of Aleppo, you will love The Stationery Shop of Tehran
1953, Tehran. In a small shop in a country on the brink of unrest, two people meet for the very first time.
Roya loves nothing better than to while away the hours in the stationery shop run by Mr Fakhri. The store, stocked with fountain pens, shiny ink bottles, and thick wads of writing paper, also carries translations of literature from all over the world. Bahman, with his burning passion for justice, is like no one else she has ever met.
But all around them, as their relationship blossoms, life in Tehran is changing.
Suddenly, shockingly, violence erupts: a coup d'etat that forever changes their country's future, as well as their own.
Marjan Kamali's beautiful novel explores themes of love and loss, and delivers and unforgettable ending.

A truly beautiful story about love - and loss.
This is one of the most beautiful love stories I have come across in a very long time. The author writes so sensitively about human desire and frailty, with a deep compassion and understanding that permeates her descriptions of each character and the choices they make.
I loved the twists and turns and the ending did not disappoint.
Beautifully read. Thoroughly recommended.

A tale of two countries
A beautiful reading of an interesting text. Loved the long arc of family history. Felt the epilogue was unnecessary and repetitive

Blew me, away
What an amazing love story interspersed with national and family politics.
Not just love but the grief of loss and when you're so sad for them up pops a Persian recipe.

Beautifully written
I loved this book, it was so well written, it described living in Tehran so well that I felt I was there. The last few chapters made we cry, it was not over sentimental, but made me sad for the lost opportunities of the two main characters. The narration was excellent, in fact it was the best narration I have listened to. I would thoroughly recommend this book.

Most beautiful love story. Epilogue was just right explaining more of what happened in the background. Loved it. Polls
I loved it all. The story line flowed, I couldn’t put it down, though tinged with a little sadness at love lost.
