Rūzgār-e khāleh-am dar Qazvīn Persiska (Farsi) 2025

“The Days of My Aunt in Qazvin” is a novella about family relationships, with all their sweet memories and hidden affections, as well as the selfishness of people and the adversities of life that sometimes strain these bonds. Ardshir Rahmani’s intimate and honest narration, enriched by a gentle, understated humor, turns the story into a compelling and engaging work that remains appealing even in its sorrowful moments.

In The Days of My Aunt in Qazvin, Rahmani speaks of a past when life was simpler and more beautiful; yet his perspective is not merely nostalgic or regretful. He does not ignore the hardships of living in those times, allowing the story to emerge as a fair and believable portrayal of an earlier way of life.
