## Resource

A gripping new novel by Marina Nemat, “Mistress of the Persian Boarding House,” blends memoir and historical fiction to tell the harrowing tale of Zina, a Russian émigré who escapes revolution, loses her husband in Iran, endures a vodka-bottle childbirth, and survives amid the Spanish flu pandemic—crossing paths with future Shah Reza Khan. Drawing from her own trauma as an Iranian teen arrested by the regime, Nemat channels her grandmother’s spirit to craft a vivid, resilient saga of displacement, endurance, and triumph across generations.
