Non-Fiction Memoir
Oscar nominee and Emmy Award–winning actress Shohreh
Aghdashloo shares her remarkable personal journey—from a
childhood in the Shah’s Iran to the red carpets of
Hollywood—in The Alley of Love and Yellow Jasmines,
a dazzling memoir of family, faith, and
hope.
When Shohreh Aghdashloo was growing up in
Teheran, stardom was a distant dream, especially since her
parents had more practical plans for their
daughter…
When revolution swept Iran in 1978,
the Ayatollah Khomeini’s religious regime brought stifling
restrictions on women and art. Shohreh Aghdashloo seized the
moment and boldly left her husband for Europe and
eventually, America, a vastly different
culture.
Shohreh Aghdashloo writes poignantly
about her struggles as an outsider in a new culture—as a
woman, a Muslim, and a Persian—adapting to a new land and a
new language, and shares behind-the-scenes stories about
what it’s really like to be an actress in
Hollywood. The Alley of Love and Yellow
Jasmines includes original color photographs from the
author.
