Spanning a century, Shirin unfolds through interconnected lives shaped by what is inherited and rarely questioned. Beginning in the ancient city of Kashan and extending across generations, the narrative traces how belief, identity, and prejudice are formed within families and carried forward - often silently. Through moments both intimate and historical, the story reveals not only what changes over time, but what persists beneath it.
Shirin: A Hundred Years, Rooted and Uprooted traces four generations of one Persian family across a century of upheaval - from the streets of Kashan to the prisons of pre-revolutionary Iran and beyond. At its center is Shirin, whose life becomes a lens through which inherited prejudice, faith, silence, and belonging quietly unfold.
Beginning long before the Iranian Revolution, the book asks how intolerance takes root - not only through politics or religion, but through what families teach, what societies normalize, and what remains unspoken.
Translated from the original Farsi by the author's daughters, Farnaz and Mehr, and narrated by Mehr Mansuri, Shirin is both a daughter's act of preservation and a mother's enduring reflection on the deeper roots of human division.
