The Stationery Shop by Marjan KamaliMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story is so beautifully told. With the backdrop of political upheaval in Iran, the story of two teenagers falling in love and then being separated and how their lives evolve in the coming decades is incredibly compelling. I thoroughly enjoyed the epistolary elements, the love of books, the idealism for change, the culinary descriptions, and of course, the book centering around a stationery shop.
This book is probably a 4.5, but I rounded up for how captivated I was. Happy reading and happy school supply buying. Wish I could send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils. :)
ps. Let's be honest - I have been misspelling stationery all my life.
