Conquest of the Persian Garden — David Morisset

Inspired partly by 'Bijan and Manijeh', Ferdowsi's epic romance, 'Conquest of the Persian Garden' is the story of two people from vastly different cultures who fall in love despite established loyalties and the chaos of Iran's Islamic Revolution. David Morriset brings to life the vibrant city of Tehran as it was during the last days of the Shah and traces the fortunes of vulnerable individuals as Iran's new rulers begin eliminating potential opponents.
