Description

Book Synopsis
In Pezeshkzad's fictional account, Hafez's life in fourteenth-century Shiraz is a mix of peril and humour. Set in a city that is at once beautiful and cutthroat, the novel includes a cast of historical figures to illuminate this elusive poet of the Persian literary tradition.

Trade Review
Pezeshkzad is one of Iran’s beloved modern writers. Hafez in Love is an extraordinary English rendering showing why this Persian poet of wine, love, and honesty has been the most widely read author from the Balkan to the Bay of Bengal for seven hundred years in the Islamic world…. A fantastic read to be recommended to everyone who loves Persia, Persian poetry, and historical novels.
