![]() ![]() ![]() For someone who calls himself a Fractional Persian and has yet to find a best friend at home, finally finding Sohrab is a massive moment in Darius life. In the relationship between Sohrab and Darius, we see Darius finally find a friend that values and accepts him. ![]() ![]() The two prominent relationships in this book are between Darius and Sohrab and Darius and his dad (not that the other relationships are less valued these two are simply at the forefront of this story). Or Simon’s difficultly in fitting in with his wife’s family on their visit to Iran, but still trying to find ways to connect with her parents and brothers. As an older sibling, I completely understood Darius’s love for his sister but also his annoyance when she interrupts his one-on-one time with his dad. Khorram did a wonderful job creating such realistic characters and their relationships with each other. This is a contemporary novel that is character driven, and ultimately reminds us that we need to support and accept each other. Darius’s story was beautiful on so many levels: his travels to Iran, his friendship with Sohrab, his relationship with his family, and his relationship with himself. Reading about depression is never easy, and each story is so individual that it’s always a difficult journey to take with a character. ![]()
