📖 About this Book
Set in Iran beginning in 1974, Remembering Memories follows 18-year-old Houri Taqkhan, who agrees to marry Raz Yaakhi, the wealthy heir to the North Banks, because the marriage offers her a way out of poverty and a better social position. There is just one wonderfully inconvenient detail: Houri and Raz have disliked each other since childhood. 
As the story moves across decades of Houri’s life, the two must maintain the appearance of a successful marriage while privately navigating resentment, family expectations, class differences, gender roles, and the upheaval of revolution in Iran. 
 
❤️ Why Sumaia Recommends It
This is the kind of historical fiction that gives you much more than a romance. The relationship between Houri and Raz is complicated, but what makes the book stand out is how their marriage is shaped by class, society, family duty, and a country going through enormous change.
It is perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven stories spanning many years, complicated marriages, women trying to carve out a life within restrictive expectations, and historical fiction where the personal and political are deeply connected.
