The Judson book group will be reading and discussing "The Lion Women of Tehran" by Marjan Kamali.

The Lion Women of Tehran by Marjan Kamali is a work of historical fiction that follows the decades-long friendship of two Iranian women against a backdrop of Iran's political and social upheaval , The novel tracks the intertwined yet divergent lives of these two girls as they grow into adulthood and experience different social classes, political leanings, and dreams. Spanning from 1950 Tehran through the 1979 Iranian Revolution to the US in 2022, the novel is a textured but hopeful exploration of the bonds of friendship among women, the shaping influence of class and culture, and how the changes in government have impacted Iranian women from 1950 onward.
