With one-foot firm set in pre-revolutionary Iran and one foot in modern America, Maryam's life draws a picture of the cultural clash between old and new, East and West, and men and women in the time period before and after the Iranian revolution of 1979. Maryam grew up as a beauty pageant queen who believed that a wonderful life would open to her, but instead found a world that was determined to clip her wings at every turn. Thwarted at her every attempt to move up and move on, she agreed to a marriage of convenience that offered her a ticket to the United States. But little did she know that no matter how far away she flew, the restraints of her culture would never let her fly free. Yearned-for escape became a prison in her new country, when she found that distance from Iran alone could not liberate her body or her mind. Traveling between America and Iran with the mystery and promise of the open the road, Maryam's natural optimism, perseverance and self-worth are severely tested during her immigrant's journey. Growing up the daughter of a wealthy business owner in Tabriz, Maryam is shocked to find herself living in poverty when she arrives in the land of opportunity. As her life and identity become lost in the battle between hope and despair, Maryam must find a middle ground between the oppressive country she can no longer endure, and the American dream that is far from her reach.

This acclaimed novel is set during the Lebanese Civil War and offers a rare depiction of women’s experiences amid this sprawling, region-defining conflict. In Alawiya Sobh’s hands, the details of everyday life mix with female voices from across classes, sects, and generations to create an indelible picture of a climate where violence and war are the overt outbreak of a simmering tension that underlies the life in the region. Here, stories struggle to survive the erasure of war and rescue the sweetness of living, trying to connect the tellers and their audience while transforming pain and love into abiding, sustaining art. Rendered sensitively into English through a close collaboration between author and translator, Maryam offers an unforgettable picture of conflict and its costs.

Maryam’s Magic: The Story of Mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani

Maryam’s Magic: The Story of Mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani

From Althea Gibson author Megan Reid and rising star artist Aaliya Jaleel, illustrator of Under My Hijab, comes the first picture book about trailblazing mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the world’s most prestigious honor in mathematics. Perfect for fans of Hidden Figures and Mae Among the Stars. As a little girl, Maryam Mirzakhani was spellbound by stories. She loved reading in Tehran’s crowded bookstores, and at home she'd spend hours crafting her own tales on giant rolls of paper. Maryam loved school, especially her classes in reading and writing. But she did not like math. Numbers were nowhere near as interesting as the bold, adventurous characters she found in books. Until Maryam unexpectedly discovered a new genre of storytelling: In geometry, numbers became shapes, each with its own fascinating personality—making every equation a brilliant story waiting to be told. As an adult, Maryam became a professor, inventing new formulas to solve some of math's most complicated puzzles. And she made history by becoming the first woman—and the first Iranian—to win the Fields Medal, mathematics’ highest award. Maryam's Magic is the true story of a girl whose creativity and love of stories helped her—and the world—to see math in a new and inspiring way.
