    Loved Loved Loved this Book! - 5 stars
    The Blood of Flowers: A Novel Review
    I really enjoyed this book. Learning more and more about the Eastern world continues to remind me of how fortunate we are in the Western world. I give the author tons of praise for this novel and would highly recommend it to others.
    Not enough research... - 1 stars
    The Blood of Flowers: A Novel Review
    The author lost credibility for me by page 8 when she used the name "Iran" to describe her country. Persia's name was not changed to Iran until 1935. This book is set in the 17th century.
    Her name is Aziza - 4 stars
    The Blood of Flowers: A Novel Review
    I am currently listening to the audiobook of this novel. I find it mesmerizing, in part because it is voiced by the actress Shohreh Aghdashloo. Her lovely, husky voice imparts warmth and realism to the story that a less gifted reader might not convey.

    I am surprised that so many people say the heroine is unnamed. She is called "Aziza." Granted, I also wondered what her name was all through the first section of the audiobook, but then I paid attention and noticed that she is named.

    An intricate story, a vivid world, a beautiful voice telling the story. "First there was not, then there was..."

    The harsh realities of women's lives in a world where they have only indirect power is shown as clearly as it is in A Thousand Splendid Suns.

    The Blood of Flowers - 5 stars
    The Blood of Flowers: A Novel Review
    This is a gorgeous, well-crafted novel. You will not be able to stop thinking about the courage of the narrator, whose story transcends time. Modern women will identify with the choices she has to make and the consequences of being a person desiring full agency over her life.
    Page turner! - 5 stars
    The Blood of Flowers: A Novel Review
    What happens to a girl who's apparently lost all hope? She lost her father, and her home...and more things as the book progresses.

    People tell you to be strong; they say it's important to move on...but how?

    This book has so much to offer. I would love to give a list, but at the same time I think it's important for the reader to experience these topics on their own. I can say I was mesmerized by the main character. Although all her choices are not the right ones (we all suffer making the wrong choices at times) she learns from her mistakes. She is put in very difficult situations and pulls through.

    My opinion of this book is if you love rich stories full of love, heartache, family sagas, growing up, foreign lands...you really will love this.

    I purchased this because I loved the following authors: Khaled Hosseini, Lisa See, or Adeline Yen Mah.
