![]() ![]() Iranian-American writer Marjan Kamali’s beautifully-wrought novel, The Stationery Ship of Tehran very much falls into this camp, a book which promises, at first glance, a delightful but low-impact appealingly romantic tale that spans six decades and includes heartache as much as eternal love. What you suppose it will be like when you pick it up in a bookstore and are intrigued enough by the back cover blurb to add it to your TBR pile – in my case, a towering mountain that will fall and smother me with words one day – is often not quite what it turns out to be and you are all the richer for it. There is a quiet joy in being surprised by a book. ![]()
