really liked it

“The minute I heard my first love story,I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere.They’re in each other all along.�


Omg this was such a heartfelt, wonderful, emotional, utterly heartbreaking read. It’s the perfect eye opening to the Iran culture and customs and it’s political conflicts and what happened to their country in the past. It’s story of loss and love and remembrance. The book taught me so many things and effected me so deeply 💕

- the only thing that bothered me is that the writing was very very repetitive. It annoyed me sm but other than that it was so beautiful 🫶🏻

“There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.�


bahman & roya:
Their love and relationship was so beautiful and adorable. I was in love with them from the moment they were stealing glances at eachothers in the stationary shop to the very end. The letters and how they were always in each other mind even after so many years 🥹 how bahman kept calling her roya joon ( which means the essence of his life and soul 😭🫶🏻). Their love for eachothers never stopped. i love them 🫶🏻🫶🏻

“Roya’s mother had always said that our fate is written on our foreheads when we’re born. It can’t be seen, can’t be read, but it’s there in invisible ink all right, and life follows that fate. No matter what.�


walter does men like him still exists? Like how can u find someone who loves u and give u everything even if you gave him so little he still will give u everything he has. Like please i need him🫶🏻 he’s so sweet and understanding. Always rational and considerate 💕💕

“You are in everything I see. In every moment, you are with me, Roya Joon.�


bahman mother ( the evil soul): I’m burning with hate for this woman. Omg i loath her. She outdid satan guys . I’m pretty sure his proud of what she did 😭 the woman is evil. She’s the one responsible for my misery rn 🌝 her name is on top on my death list 🔪

zari: tbh she didn’t do anything but I always got angry when she opened her mouth 🌝

Quotes

“I only heard your voice. In your presence, I found a calm.�

“Maybe old love just ran through the decades unfettered, unimpeded, even when denied.�

“I never stopped loving you.�

�. “This world is without compassion.�

“I loved you. I loved you then, I love you now, I will always love you�

“the love will continue to live the young will continue their hope the fight for democracy won’t die his books the words the notes the letters the hope cannot ever end. It is a love from which we never recover.�

“People lament the loss of a leader, but all I feel is the loss of you.�
