In 'Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay', Parinoush Saniee presents a moving story of an Iranian family separated by the 1979 revolution. After almost thirty years without seeing each other, the matriarch gathers her six children on the coast of Turkey. However, cultural differences and accumulated resentments threaten to separate them definitively. Through the voices of the characters, Saniee explores themes such as nostalgia, exile, identity, and reconciliation, offering a deep look at the complexities of family relationships and the impact of history on their lives. This novel is a tribute to the resilience of the Iranian people and a reflection on the importance of healing the wounds of the past to build a common future.
