Bookclub: Shida Bazyar The nights are quiet in Tehran

Hi all, About our group We're a small, friendly book club that started in 2023, with a focus on reading works by women authors from across the world. 📖 We meet once a month, on the second Friday of each month, in the same place. Ideally, you'd be ok with committing to read one book a month and joining the bookclub for a chat about it. ☕📚💬 We're looking for a few new members who'd like to become part of the club long term. We know life happens (and on occasion other events get in the way😅), so we're not expecting perfection and attendance every month, but a commitment to do as often as possible so we can all have interesting exchanges of ideas and perspectives, and foster a strong readers group. 💛 We intentionally keep the group small and closed, because we want to create a space where we can really get to know each other and build genuine friendships, rather than being a book club where people come and go. 🫶✨ And it's not all about the books! We also organise social events, celebrate birthdays and other special occasions, and go away together for a yearly weekend retreat. 🏡🌿📚 Curious to see what we've been reading so far? 📖 Have a look here. If this sounds like your kind of book club, we'd love to meet you! 💕 Come along to one of our next events, and see if we're your people. 📚✨ About this event Let’s meet and discuss Shida Bazyar’s The Nights Are Quiet in Tehran (272 pages). We’ll have a chance to: Share our thoughts and first impressions of the novel Discuss its themes of revolution, displacement, family, and identity Talk about the characters and how their experiences shape the story Compare different perspectives and interpretations Share our favorite or most memorable moments Looking forward to a great discussion! 📚
