In the Time of Our History

In the Time of Our History by Susanne Pari is a family saga centered on an Iranian American family in New Jersey.

Mitra Jahani grew up in New Jersey with her parents and younger sister Anahita. She is on her way back there now, from San Fransisco, for Anahita's One Year - marking the anniversary of the death of Anahita, and her two children. 

Being back among her family is a blessing and a curse for Mitra. Her father has not spoken to her for years and her mother is caught in the middle. She has extended family she adores and those she wishes to never lay eyes on again. 

Pari has written a beautiful family saga with all of the complications of any family, likely enhanced by the parents being immigrants from a different culture and children who grew up American.
