We follow young Parvin through the excitement and sorrow of learning about love, family, and friendship.
With an Iranian father and American mother, Abtahi’s central character, Parvin, must grapple with her dueling identities, the growing pains of youth, and exploring a sense of belonging in a political and social climate that is too often hostile to her Iranian heritage. A filmmaker and writer, Abtahi weaves together a story that is not only fun to read, but is also a moving coming of age story fit for our times.
with an Iranian father and an Argentine mother, Abtahi herself is a reflection of the increasingly diverse Iranian diaspora. In her debut novel, Perfectly Parvin, author Olivia Abtahi tells the story of 14-year-old Parvin Mohammadi, a second-generation Iranian American who navigates the trials of adolescence with the added complexity of growing up with different cultures.
