A novel singed by the flavors of Tehran, imbued with
the Iranian roots of Persepolis and the culture
clash of Rooftops of Tehran, this is a striking,
nuanced story of a woman caught between two worlds, from the
bestselling author of Harem, Courtesan,
and The Last Romanov.
A Love So Deep Can Forever Scar the Soul
Such audacity she has, Soraya, a woman who dares to break
free of the diamond-studded leash of her culture. A woman
who refuses to accept the devastating betrayal her husband
has perpetrated. A woman who refuses to forgive her best
friend.
Soraya turns her back on Iran, fleeing to America to plot
her intricate revenge. The Shah has fallen, her country is
in turmoil, her marriage has crumbled, and she is
unraveling. The cruel and intimate blow her husband has
dealt her awakens an obsessive streak that explodes in the
heated world of Los Angeles.
Yet the secret Soraya discovers proves far more devastating
than anything she had imagined, unleashing a whirlwind of
unexpected events that will leave the reader breathless.
Hi there,Dorah Levy. How are you? After reading the blurb about,the storyline,of your new book "Scent of Butterflies,"I knew I had to enter this contest! WOW !!! I just LOVE the title. On a more serious note,I can relate to,this woman in the book. As,I too,have had a very similar experience,in my life! I was about to get,the SURPRISE of my life! I was seeing,a very nice,refined and respectable,young man for about 3 years. All of a sudden,I happened to be passing by,my boyfriend's workplace,when a mutual aquaintance approached me. Boy,let me tell you,I was clearly unprepared,to digest the forthcoming information. He began telling me,all kinds of stories,and providing me,with a certain amount of knowledge,that I would have preferred,not to know. However,that very night,this person with a whole lot of information,about my boyfriend;could not wait,to confront him face to face. It was a total nightmare! I had just heard,confirmation,that the so-called rumour's were true. All of a sudden,my world seemed to be,collapsing,right before my eyes! The problem,was that,I was very much in love,with a married man! Everything and anything,went through my head. I started to think of possible options,and solutions,that would allow for us,to stay together. None of which,were to be,because,I had been going with,someone who was a HINDU,and trapped in a arranged marriage! (Elizabeth Calligan 1:55am January 23, 2014)
I always say you can't criticize anything until you have seen it, read it, etc. And I also say you can't complain about politicians if you don't vote. There are always going to be negative people. You just have to ignore them. (Pam Howell 8:29am January 23, 2014)
i enjoy reading, as my book club does too, a story that can be discussed...something informative..this sounds like it would fit perfectly. (Mal Kaplan 8:35am January 23, 2014)

(Sharon Berger 10:39am January 23, 2014)
I must confess that I'm not familiar with your book, nor your screenplay, but I would love to read your book so much!! I know that it's one that I could pass around to a few women I know from the library where I live, and perhaps they can even use it at their book club, if they haven't done so already!! It sounds like an engrossing read, and I know that I'd really be able to get rapt up in the story, due to people in my life I can relate to. This is the perfect read to finish off my Winters' reading list off with, and will be put on my TBR list!! (Peggy Roberson 10:52am January 23, 2014)
I love the title "Scent of Butterflies" and woul love to read your book. I designed a butterfly labyrinth that people are using as a path of prayer and meditation (at least when there isn't snow covering it). (Lori Yost 2:30pm January 23, 2014)
