Half a Cup of Sand and Sky | Nadine Bjursten

1 post | 1 read

Resonating with tenderness, HALF A CUP OF SKY is a moving portrait of one woman’s search for love and belonging cast against a nuanced backdrop of political turmoil. It is 1977, and the anti-shah protests at Tehran University are intensifying, but Amineh is not like her peers who want a say in the future of their country. Her thoughts are on the literature of another era and her past of rose harvests and Sufi poetry evenings under the desert sky. A chance encounter with a disarmament activist will thrust her into a life she didn’t ask for and didn’t want. Nobody wanted the tyranny that is quickly turning worse than the tyranny it replaced. But maybe Amineh has been looking at her life all wrong—Maybe the thing she is seeking is not in the past at all.
