This is the latest title written by the Iranian famous author, Jamshid Khanian. He has been awarded and nominated for many international and national literary prizes. In his new novel, Khanian tells a tale of love, trust, friendship, betrayal, and heartbreak. Through the lenses of three young boys, the reader is flown back in time to experience a familiar sensation: the heart beating faster, the hopes rising higher, the friendships shattering, and a new lesson being learnt. The adolescent love is a mysterious feeling, yet sweet and full of hope. It can give life a new meaning and this novel provides the platform for young readers to experience a universal dilemma: to choose love or to stay loyal to friendship.

Jamshid Khanian beautifully engages the young and adult readers through his story of three young boys, a beautiful girl, and her father. The mystery arises when they see her for the first time: a breathtakingly gorgeous girl with golden hair. However, rumor has it she is sick and has come to town from Basra in Iraq for medical treatment.

The form and structure of this title is somehow one of a kind: sometimes in form a letter, sometimes a linear narrative. Therefore, it grabs the attention of reader and never lets go until the very end.

The good thing is that this is not a letter. So it belongs to no one. I mean I’m not writing it for anyone in particular. No one is going to read it. Even I that write it should never ever read it again. My sister, two years older than me said writing any secret down and giving it to the Earth has one particular condition: the letter should never be read again. And I said fine.
