Author Description

Armen from Shiraz is a compelling historical fiction novel that delves into moral ambiguity, love, and the enduring strength of human connections in the face of injustice. Set against the backdrop of post revolutionary Iran, the story follows Armen, a quiet but deeply conflicted man, as he wrestles with his past, his choices, and the people who anchor him with their unwavering support. Through Armen's journey and the parallel struggles of Shirazi, a dedicated investigator, the narrative explores the ripple effects of systemic oppression, cultural identity, and the personal cost of seeking justice in a fractured world. The story pays tribute to resilience, portraying the Armenian experience during the Ottoman genocide, the minority perspective in post revolutionary Iran, and the forced migration that arose from the weight of political extremism.
