Book Description: Savushun is a folk tradition, surviving in Southern Iran from an undateable pre-Islamic past, that conjures hope in spite of everything. The novel chronicles the life of a Persian family during the World War II Allied occupation of Iran. The story is seen through the eyes of Zari, a young wife, and mother, who copes with her idealistic husband while struggling with her desire for traditional family life and her need for an individual identity.
The book discussion is open to County employees, family, and friends. The ERGs look forward to seeing you! For any questions/comments, contact MEERG@sdcounty.ca.gov or CSDFEA@sdcounty.ca.gov.
