This sense of being exceptional and estranged is the hallmark of his character and the focus of his struggle in Taghi Modarressi's last novel." "Set around the time of the revolution, The Virgin of Solitude follows the parallel lives of a transplanted Austrian woman who has made Iran her home, and her grandson, Nuri, who desperately misses his mother but hides his longing behind a veneer of teenage bravado. As the turmoil of the revolution envelops the country, grandmother and grandson witness the dissolution of social, class, and political order, while searching for a sense of belonging."--BOOK JACKET.
