Review Excerpt:

Anita Amirrezvani's first novel is about the costs and consolations of beauty, and is itself so picturesque that it often seems a striking variation on its own theme. Set in 17th-century Persia, the book imagines the life of a talented young female carpetmaker during a golden age of artisanship.
