The narrator, a young mother and housewife living in a low income neighborhood in Tehran, dwells upon her husband Amir's desire to immigrate to Canada. His lifestyle underscores her own sense of inertia. When he finally slips away, the young woman is forced to raise the children alone and to care for her ailing mother. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Women authors, Iranian|vFiction. 650 0 Women|zIran|vFiction. 650 7 FICTION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Women.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 Women authors, Iranian.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01177287 651 7 Iran.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204889 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 Kousha, Mahnaz. 700 1 Jewell, Nasrin. 700 1 Milani, Farzaneh. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aVafī, Farībā.|sParandah-'i man.
