Both a love story and a celebration of the warmth and elegance of Iranian culture, A Mirror Garden is a genuine fairy tale of an exuberant heroine who has never needed rescuing.
“Captivating…. Farmanfarmaian’s sumptuously detailed recollections are a rare, insidery look at two lost worlds.”
—Vogue

Here we see a mischievousgirl become a spirited woman who defies tradition.
