Summary:
"Mit knapp dreißig hat Nilou alles erreicht. Wer hätte je geglaubt, dass sie eine Eliteuniversität besuchen, einen weltgewandten Juristen heiraten und ihre eigene Wissenschaftskarriere beginnen würde? Als Kind ist sie mit ihrer Mutter aus dem Iran geflohen - in die tiefste amerikanische Provinz, wo man sie nicht eben offenherzig empfangen hat. Doch sie hat ehrgeizig nach den Idealen der westlichen Welt gestrebt und sich komplett neu erfunden. Alles könnte also gut sein, wäre da nicht Nilous Vater, ein opiumsüchtiger Verehrer altpersischer Lyrik, der ihr vom Iran aus die Kluft vor Augen führt, die die Familie voneinander trennt. Als Nilou in Amsterdam auf eine Gruppe iranischer Exilanten trifft, mit ihnen kocht und ihren Erzählungen lauscht, erwacht eine alte Sehnsucht in ihr: nach einer Heimat, in der sie ganz einfach sie selbst sein darf." --goodreads.com.
"An Iranian girl escapes to America as a child, but her father stays behind. Over twenty years, as she transforms from confused immigrant to overachieving Westerner to sophisticated European transplant, daughter and father know each other only from their visits: four crucial visits over two decades, each in a different city. The longer they are apart, the more their lives diverge, but also the more each comes to need the other's wisdom and, ultimately, rescue. Meanwhile, refugees of all nationalities are moving to
Europe
. Wanting to help, but also looking for a lost sense of home, our grown-up transplant finds herself quickly entranced by a world that is at once everything she has missed and nothing that she has ever known. Will her immersion in the lives of these new refugees allow her the grace to save her father?" --goodreads.com.
