In the Time of Our History: A Novel of Riveting and Evocative Fiction
Susanne Pari
Inspired by her own familys experiences following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Susanne Pari explores the entangled lives within an Iranian American family grappling with generational culture clashes, the roles imposed on women, and a tragic accident that forces them to reconcile their guilt or forfeit their already tenuous bonds. Set between San Francisco and New Jersey in the late-1990s, In the Time of Our History is a story about the universal longing to create a home in this world and what happens when we let go of how weve always been told it should look.
Twelve months after her younger sister Anahitas death, Mitra Jahani reluctantly returns to her familys home in suburban New Jersey to observe the Iranian custom of The One Year. Mitra has spent her adult life liberating herself from such traditions. She doesnt need to gather with gossipy relatives over fragrant saffron rice pudding and eggplant khoresh to remember and grieve for Ana. Her sister, as dutiful and sweet as Mitra was rebellious, is always in her heart, and so is the guilt that Mitra can neither reveal nor assuage.
For Mitras mother, Shireen, this homecoming is both joyful and fraught. Shireens husband rose to the role of family patriarch despite humble beginnings and he relishes that power, though not the responsibilities that come with it. His callous disowning of his surviving daughter compels Shireen to rethink her own role after decades of submission.
But Mitra too is suddenly forced to confront the truth about her late sisters life, and the secrets that each of them hid to protect others. And as revelations bring Mitra and Shireen to a new understanding, they, along with the rest of the Jahani family, must consider anew the choices, bargains, and betrayals made in the name of belonging.
