Moonlight On The Avenue Of Faith


by Gina B Nahai

Read by Ruth Hill (1 Cd)

When she is five years old, Lili, the narrator of this epic and magical tale, watches her mother, Roxanna, throw herself off the balcony of their house on the Avenue of Faith. Roxanna has left no farewell, no explanation. Her family's subsequent search for her reveals no body. No sign of a fall, no trace of an escape. The only witness to Roxanna's disappearance is Lili and she will spend the next thirteen years looking for her mother, wondering if she is alive, wondering why she left. This is the remarkable tale that follows Roxanna, born as a "bad-luck child" in the Jewish ghetto of Tehran, through the opulent world of Iran's aristocracy, into the whorehouses of Turkey and at last, to Los Angeles, the city of exiles where she and Lili are reunited. Gina B. Nahai tells the story of a courageous circle of women standing on the edge of the past, reshaping their lives in America, the land of chances and choices.
