Description - Our Weddings by Dorit Rabinyan
Clinging to virginity on her wedding night, Iran digs her fingers into her pearl-encrusted gown. The white thread breaks and she and Solly watch a carpet of dancing pearls whirl between the walls. They trade them for a tiny flat on Independence Street, where they soon become parents. Baby Maurice is pampered like a guest who would leave if ignored; and soon he is joined by Sofia, then Marcelle, and then Lizzie, sisters who stick to each other like flour, water and salt. By the time Matti is born, the children are longing to fall in love. But the simplicity of their parents' romance seems as distant to them as a fairy tale. Each finds a life rich in unhappiness, filling Iran's home with whispers and wails, none more piercing than her own.
