Die Perserinnen

'Die Revolution war jetzt 27 Jahre her, und wir lebten immer noch in einer Endlosschleife aus Wohin gehen wir, was tun wir?' Shirins Vater war im Cabrio durch Teheran gefahren, blaue Ledersitze, die Herald Tribune auf dem Schoß. Die Valiats gehörten zu den wichtigsten Familien in Iran, ihr Reichtum war unermesslich. Jetzt, im amerikanischen Exil, muss sich Shirin vor einem Gericht verantworten: versuchte Prostitution. Lachhaft, drauf geschissen, meint sie. Das sieht ihre Nichte Bita ganz anders. Die pflichtbewusste Bita. Doch eines steht fest: Für beide wird es allmählich Zeit, sich ihrer verdrängten Familiengeschichte zu stellen. 'Die Perserinnen' ist alles zugleich: Komödie, Drama und Farce. Ein intensives, ganz und gar unvergessliches Leseerlebnis.

De Perzen

E-book

Iedereen in Iran kent de familie Valiat. Dankzij een belangrijke voorvader is de familie steenrijk, ze leven als koningen. Maar de revolutie van 1979 – waarbij Iran verandert in een islamitische staat – maakt alles anders. Een groot deel van de familie vlucht uit Teheran naar de Verenigde Staten om hun decadente leventje daar voort te zetten, maar de overgang gaat minder vloeiend dan ze verwachtten. In Amerika betekent de familienaam niets. Ondanks hun rijkdom zijn ze er vooral buitenlanders. Tante Shirin ergert zich kapot aan het gebrek aan respect waarmee ze worden bejegend: ‘Mijn favoriete ring is ouder dan de Verenigde Staten.’ Wanneer de jaarlijkse skivakantie in Aspen eindigt in een drama, komt het imago van de familie nog verder onder druk te staan. Hun naam moet in ere worden hersteld. Maar hoe doe je dat als niemand weet wie je bent? De Perzen is een filosofisch en humoristisch portret van een bijzondere Iraanse familie op zoek naar trots, identiteit, rijkdom en een nieuwe plek in de wereld. ‘Mahloudji hoort thuis tussen zwaargewichten als Elif Shafak, Abraham Verghese en Min Jin Lee.’ – The Guardian ‘Een betoverende roman!’ – Monica Ali ‘Weergaloos! Intens en rijkgeschakeerd.’– Sarah Winman
