A country in chaos, a clash of civilizations, and a family
torn asunder... In the midst of the upheaval and violence of
Iran's 1979 revolution, a young girl struggles to make sense
of a complex swirl of mystery and change. In the novel, The
Rose Hotel, Dr. Rahimeh Andalibian tells the true-life story
of her Iranian Muslim family and two brutal crimes - one
that her father solved and another of which her brother is
accused. The Iranian-born author takes us first into the
early intimacy of her pious family as they lived in
prosperity in their luxury hotel in Mashhad, Iran. Their life of beauty and tranquility is ruptured by
revolution, followed by a fall from grace, as her homeland
is forever altered and her family uprooted, first to London,
and finally to California, where they suffer a different
kind of revolution. Struggling to acculturate and adjust to
a new host culture in America, they soon discover that
although they escaped Iran, they were not free from their
own lies and hidden truths. Heartbreaking and intimately
told, The Rose Hotel is a story of healing, rebirth after
tragedy, and hard-won redemption.
