Summary
The second novel in a trilogy about Khadivi's homeland of Iran. Two brothers from a small Iranian mountain village--Saladin, who has always dreamed of leaving, and Ali, who has never given it a thought--are forced to flee for their lives in the aftermath of a political killing. The journey is beset by trouble from the start, but over the treacherous mountains they go, on foot to Istanbul and onward by freighter to the Azores.There, after a painful parting, Saladin alone continues on the final leg, on a cargo plane all the way to Los Angeles. He will have a new life in California, but will never be whole again without his beloved brother and the living heritage that has always defined him
