Richly detailed, emotionally intense, and tremendously moving, this work is highly recommended." -Library JournalSTARRED review "In her stirring fourth novel, Nahai explores the struggles of an Iranian family in the tenuous decade before the Islamic revolution…a poignant tale of a 'damaged family.'" -Publishers Weekly "Filled with hope and despair,Caspian Rainis Nahai's most emotional and inspiring novel yet. Nahai's heroine - the inspired and inspiring Yaas - learns the lessons of obedience, subservience, and forbearance, and then chooses a surprising and unexpected path." -Lisa See, author ofPeony in LoveandSnow Flower and the Secret Fan "Unexpected and heartrending, but also witty, elegiac, sophisticated and edgy.Caspian Rainis a beautiful book." -Chris Abani, author ofGracelandandThe Virgin of Flames "InCaspian Rain, Gina Nahai writes with subtlety and grace about the unappeasable forces of culture, class and family which shape the life of a young girl growing up in Jewish Tehran before the mullahs." -Janet Fitch, author ofWhite OleanderandPaint it Black "Caspian Rainonce more proves Gina B. Nahai's ability to create through her wonderfully lyrical prose a fictional world that, while rooted in a particular culture and history, is universally relevant and appealing." -Azar Nafisi, author ofReading Lolita in Tehran

Synopsis
In the decade before the Islamic Revolution, Iran is a country at the brink of explosion. Twelve-year-old Yaas is born in Tehran, into an already divided family: Her father is the son of wealthy Iranian Jews who are integrated into the country's upper-class, mostly Muslim, elite; her mother was raised in the slums of South Tehran, one street away from the old Jewish ghetto. Yaas spends her childhood navigating the many layers of Iranian society. Her task, already difficult because of the disparity in her parents' worldview, becomes all the more critical when her father falls in love with a beautiful woman from a noble Muslim family. As her parents' marriage begins to crumble, and the country moves ever closer to revolution, Yaas is plagued by a mysterious, terrifying illness. But despite her ailment, when she learns that her father is about to abandon her and her mother-to immigrate to America with his mistress-Yaas is determined to save herself and her family. At once a cultural exploration of an as-yet unfamiliar society, and a psychological study of the effects of loss, Caspian Rain takes the reader inside the tragic and fascinating world of a brave young girl struggling against impossible odds., From the bestselling author of "Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith" comes a stirring, lyrical tale that offers American readers a unique insight into the inner workings of Iranian society, and takes them into the tragic and fascinating world of a brave young girl struggling against impossible odds.
