The Blood of Flowers: A Novel by Anita Amirrezvani
I actually finished this quite a while back. I got it for a neighborhood book club, but never actually went to the book club meeting.
I really enjoyed this book on a 17th century Persian rug maker. I never know how accurate this period novels are, but it certainly immersed me in some kind of world, regardless of how true it was.
It’s got a great female protagonist, strong writing, humor, sensuality… good stuff.
Shoulda’ gone to the book club meeting.
