In the vein of The Kite Runner  Iran-born author  Rahimeh Andalibian tells the true-life story of her Iranian Muslim family and two brutal crimes  one that her father solved and another which took the life of her innocent sixteen-year-old brother.  In a post-9\/11 world where trauma still guides our understanding of the Middle East and we continue to associate Iran with isolation  embargoes  and nuclear threats  The Rose Hotel  takes us first into the early intimacy of her pious family as they lived in prosperity in their luxury hotel in Mashhad  Iran. Their life of beauty and tranquility is ruptured by revolution and followed by a fall from grace  as her homeland is forever altered and her family uprooted  first to London  and finally to California  where they suffer a different kind of revolution. Struggling to acculturate and adjust to a new host culture in America  they soon discover that although they escaped Iran  they were not free from their own lies and hidden truths.  Heart-breaking and intimately told  The Rose Hotel is a story of healing  rebirth after tragedy  and hard-won redemption.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44909637337141,"sku":"ByrdShop_061567223X","price":91.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_061567223X_c164308d-cfa0-42cf-af13-0e93256c617e.jpg?v=1768130162","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-rose-hotel-truelife-novel","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
