How long does it take to get over something like this?

The past was always there, lurking in the corners, winking at you when you thought you'd moved on, hanging on to your organs from the inside.

It is a love from which we never recover. This sentence and and this book!!!!!

Will I ever love someone like Roya loved bahman?

“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.” ―Marjan Kamali, The stationary shop of Tehran

[hernepenthenotes]

She pressed her cheek against his heart and lay there, grateful for the time she’d had with him, however short or long it had been, grateful she had known him, grateful that once, when she was young, she had experienced a love so strong that it did not go away, that decades and distance and miles and children and lies and letters could never make it disappear. She held him in her arms and said to him all she needed to say.

For that fraction of time, he was entirely hers.

Look at love

How it tangles

With the one fallen in love

Excerpt from Stationary Shop of Tehran by Marjan Kamali

[inlovewithquotes]

The truth is, my young lady, that fate has written the script for your destiny on your forehead from the very beginning. We can't see it. But it's there. And the young, who love so passionately, have no idea how ugly this world is.... This world is without compassion.

Hi I hope this doesn't come off as stalkish, but I checked out your ig account where you recommend books, post reviews etc and ended up reading house of hollow bc I'd heard of it before and you said how much you loved it (it was an old post if I recall correctly, a "202X wrapped up, some amazing books and others that were a waste of time" kinda thing)

Bottom line, I loved house of hollow.I have a few criticisms, but the humour was top notch and it was a great read overall.Do you have any book recommendations of something similar?

Also, (if I remember correctly) alongside house of hollow you praised Malibu rise and another one whose name I don't remember rn. Do you remember which book it was? I couldn't find the post and I would love to know

Awww, no that's not stalkish at all! Feel free to follow my bookstagram! Yes, House of Hollow was amazing. I still think about that book on a regular basis, actually.

Some books I'd recommend for if you liked House of Hollow:

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

The Centre by Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi

Starling House by Alix E. Harrow

Additionally, I hyped up Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake, and The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali. Those were some of my favourite reads from 2021, if I recall correctly.

I managed to get one of my friends to read the book I'm so happy rn

The Lion Women of Tehran has not disappointed on that front either, reinforcing my appreciation for cultures where…
