A review by nuhafariha
Aria by Nazanine Hozar
3.0
Thanks to Knopf DoubleDay and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available August 25 2020
Waltzing in and out of present and past day Iran, Nazanine Hozar's "Aria" paints a mesmerizing portrait of what it means to claim womanhood for both a country and for the main protagonist. With a deft hand, Hozar's "Aria" is still piecing together her complicated family narrative amid a shifting political landscape. What follows is a soft, delicate and meandering narrative that truly does honesty to its protagonist's age and place in history. I enjoyed the author's slowed pace and gentle narrative style, even when describing quite brutal events.
