Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

"I am a rich woman from a backward country. A Jewish woman from Iran." So begins the story of Soraya, who flees to America to exact revenge on her husband, Aziz, who has betrayed her. Soraya's intricate plot begins on the plane, as she liberates herself by slowly peeling off the many restricting cultural, familial, and personal layers surrounding her. In Bel Air, Soraya transforms her garden into a haven for the butterflies she obsessively studies, alters, and displays in frames. Soraya's best friend, whom Soraya discovered in bed with her husband is named Parvenah -- which means butterfly in Farsi. When Soraya lures Parvenah to visit her in Los Angeles, Parvenah unexpectedly brings Aziz, setting in motion a sinister dance of entrapment and deception. Soraya confronts them both, demanding to know the truth, but the unexpected secret that Soraya doesn't know is far more devastating than anything Soraya had imagined, threatening to further unhinge her.

Revue de presse :

A novel that twists its way into the dark heart of friendship, betrayal, love, and identity, Dora Levy Mossanen s Scent of Butterflies assumes the shape of its titular creatures, beautiful, surprisingly dangerous, and too delicate to pin down. --Elizabeth Eslami, author of Bone Worship and Hibernate

Beautifully written... A lyrical and poignant tale of a woman with a heart burning from the sting of betrayal and a soul tormented with the longing for home. --Reyna Grande, author of The Distance Between Us

Mossanen has outdone herself in this scintillating tale of love, betrayal and self-discovery. Soraya, the main character, taunts and plays with the reader in her journey from the confines of Tehran to the chaos of Los Angeles. With vivid details and raw emotion, Scent of Butterflies is an enticing read that touches all the senses. --Fariba Nawa, Journalist, Speaker and Author of Opium Nation and Afghanistan, Inc.
