A "fierce literary thriller" about an exiled woman confronting her past as a prisoner of a repressive theocracy (
Kirkus Reviews).
She was known as "Bait 455," the most famous prisoner in a ruthless theological republic. He was one of the colonels closest to the supreme commander. When they meet, years later, far from their country of birth, a strange, equivocal relationship develops between them. Both their shared past of suffering and old romantic passions come rushing back-accompanied by recollections of the perverse logic of violence that dominated the dictatorship under which they lived.
French Iranian author Fariba Hachtroudi's prize-winning, "tightly plotted" novel "packs complex emotions in a small space, tackling difficult and essential questions about power and our responsibilities to one another" (
Kirkus Reviews).
"The story leaves us chilled by the tyrannical culture that created this macabre bond. But at the end, it's just as much a tale of the capacity of love." -
Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Timeless in its meditations on totalitarianism and the toll it takes on even those who physically escape its clutches." -
