"Set in the legendary time of Shah Abbas the Great, the novel captures
the bustle of bazaars overflowing with pomegranates, rosewater and
saffron; the breathtakingly beautiful silk and gold rugs of the Shah’s
carpet workshop; and Isfahan’s incomparable bridges, gardens, teahouses,
and hammams. With spellbinding medieval Persian tales and prose that
flows like the Zayandeh River through the city of Isfahan,
The Blood of Flowers
is the story of one woman’s struggle to create a life of her choosing,
relying—against all odds—on the strength of her own hands, mind and
will."
