Staff Pick of the Week: The Lion Women of Tehran – When Homa, a girl from Ellie's childhood, reappears in her privileged world, Ellie, joins her in pursuing their goals for meaningful futures.

Why Rose Recommends it – This is exactly the type of story I look for, especially on a long weekend! It's not necessarily the historical aspect of the setting that draws me in, but the complex nature of the strong women of this story and how their stories intertwine over a lifetime. Combine that with the educational aspect of learning about another country and culture, though fictionalized, and I know I'm in for a good read. Another element that sets this book apart from others is the prominent featuring of Iranian food, which will have readers practically tasting the described dishes.
