A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea

If you loved A Thousand Splendid Suns, you'll sink into this spellbinding story of an Iranian girl who, separated from her mother and twin sister during the turmoil following the revolution, invents a rich, imaginative world in which they live on.

Dina Nayeri was born in Iran during the revolution and emigrated to Oklahoma at ten years old. She has a BA from Princeton and an MBA and Master of Education from Harvard. She is currently a Truman Capote Fellow and a Teaching Writing Fellow at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. For more details go to www.dinanayeri.com
