A Mirror Garden: A Memoir - Monir Farmanfarmaian

Descriere A Mirror Garden: A Memoir - Monir Farmanfarmaian

\nBoth a love story and a celebration of the warmth and elegance of Iranian culture, A Mirror Garden is a genuine fairy tale of an exuberant heroine who has never needed rescuing. \nCaptivating.... Farmanfarmaian's sumptuously detailed recollections are a rare, insidery look at two lost worlds. \n--Vogue \n \nIn Persia in 1924, when a child still had to worry about hostile camels in the bazaar and a nanny might spin stories at her pillow until her eyes fell shut, the extraordinary and irresistible Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian was born. From the enchanted basement storeroom where she played as a girl to the penthouse high above New York City where she would someday live, this is the delightful and inspiring story of her life as an artist, a wife and mother, a collector, and an Iranian. Here we see a mischievous girl become a spirited woman who defies tradition.\n
