Kimiâ left Tehran for Parisian exile when she was ten and has spent her life holding Iran, its customs and her relatives at arm's length. Now, sitting in a hospital, she is ambushed by memory, and three generations of the Sadr clan come flooding back: the exploits of earlier generations, ten years of upheaval and revolution, her own teenage detours, the rush of rock music and a fair-haired bassist with a cheeky grin.
