Persian Nights (William Abrahams Book)
Chloe Fowler is traveling with her doctor-husband to a temporary residency in prerevolutionary Iran when he is unexpectedly called home. Chloe, not a feminist but an adventuresome woman who had planned to study Sassanian pottery while in Iran, is persuaded to go on alone. Once accustomed to her exotic new environment, she becomes involved with one of her husband's colleagues, to whom she had been attracted in the past, and develops an affinity for the people and the country. As she slowly begins to rethink her life, the tense political climate moves toward the onset of the revolution and evacuation of Americans. In her sixth novel, Johnson masterfully blends politics, self-discovery, love, and death, and the meatiness of her style reflects an impressive knowledge both of Iranian culture and of basic human relationships.
