My Name is Innocence
Shiva’s debut novel has just been published in Romanian. The novel traces the history of modern Iran through the eyes of three sisters from an affluent middle-class family who, for different reasons, become radicalised during the 1979 Revolution and are swept up in its brutal and bloody aftermath. On a historical level, the novel portrays the political, social, and cultural developments that shaped contemporary Iran; on a personal level, it explores the pain, anger, and helplessness experienced in the face of destruction and tragedy.
