SUMMARY:Négar Djavadi's Disoriental\, Sunday\, Feb. 26\, 12 noon Eastern
DESCRIPTION:February 2023 BookGroup Selection is Disoriental\, the novel by Négar Djavadi.\n  \n“Our memories select\, eliminate\, exaggerate\, minimize\, glorify\, denigrate. They create their own versions of events and serve up their own reality.” —Négar Djavadi \n  \nThe story of a young girl and her family\, at the core of an exploration of Iranian history. \nKimiâ Sadr fled Iran at the age of ten in the company of her mother and sisters to join her father in France. Now twenty-five\, with a new life and the prospect of a child\, Kimiâ is inundated by her own memories and the stories of her ancestors\, which reach her in unstoppable\, uncontainable waves. In the waiting room of a Parisian fertility clinic\, generations of flamboyant Sadrs return to her\, including her formidable great-grandfather Montazemolmolk\, with his harem of fifty-two wives\, and her parents\, Darius and Sara\, stalwart opponents of each regime that befalls them. \nIn this high-spirited\, kaleidoscopic story\, key moments of Iranian history\, politics\, and culture punctuate stories of family drama and triumph. Yet it is Kimiâ herself—punk-rock aficionado\, storyteller extraordinaire\, a Scheherazade of our time\, and above all a modern woman divided between family traditions and her own “disorientalization”—who forms the heart of this bestselling and beloved novel.
