'Rarely has a novel so exposed the moral erosion of Iran.

Synopsis
An uncensored and unflinching tale of power, corruption and love, set against the roiling aftermath of the Islamic Revolution, Amir Cheheltan's firebrand tale of power, corruption, and love, set against the roiling aftermath of the Islamic Revolution, opens an unforgettable trilogy of novels about everyday lives in contemporary Tehran...Fattah is a backstreet surgeon specialising in hymen repair -though it was working as an executioner in the notorious Evin prison that made him rich. When a beautiful young girl, Shahrzad, lands on his operating table, he becomes dangerously infatuated. Undeterred that she is already promised by her family to another man, he sets out to win her by any means. Robbed of his bride, the jilted and fanatical fiance attempts to use the regime's apparatus to win her back, a mission that takes him deep into Tehran's underworld of criminals and provocateurs. But once the powers of the state are unleashed, events gather a fateful momentum until none can escape their explosive collision., An uncensored and unflinching tale of power, corruption and love, set against the roiling aftermath of Iran's Islamic Revolution Fattah is middle-aged and unmarried. A former hospital janitor who became rich working as a torturer in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison, he now moonlights as an uncertified backstreet doctor specializing in 'honour surgery' for unmarried young women. Fattah has nothing but contempt for these women; that is until the beautiful Shahrzad lands on his operating table, and soon he is dangerously infatuated. Undeterred that she is promised to - and in love with - another man, the younger and less affluent Mostafa, Fattah sets out to win Shahrzad by any means. Robbed of his bride, the jilted and furious Mostafa launches a desperate plan to move her beyond his rival's reach by falsely reporting her as an opponent of the regime, a mission that takes him deep into Tehran's underworld of criminals and provocateurs., An uncensored and unflinching tale of power, corruption and love, set against the roiling aftermath of the Islamic Revolution - the first in an unforgettable trilogy about everyday life in contemporary Tehran. Fattah is middle-aged and unmarried. A former hospital janitor who became rich working as a torturer in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, he now moonlights as an uncertified backstreet doctor specializing in 'honor surgery' for unmarried young women. Fattah has nothing but contempt for these women: until the beautiful Shahrzad lands on his operating table, and soon he is dangerously infatuated. Undeterred that she is promised to - and in love with- another man, the younger and less affluent Mostafa, Fattah sets out to win Shahrzad by any means. Robbed of his bride, the jilted and furious Mostafa launches a desperate plan to move her beyond his rival's reach. In Amir Cheheltan's critically acclaimed and searing novel - his first to be translated into English - power and corruption in post-revolutionary Iran are exposed through the actions of two men who work to exploit the chaos and confusion for their own benefit. The result is a provocative tale of a divided society where religious devotion and cruelty often go hand in hand.
