A New Farsi/Persian edition

آنگاه که آینه ترک می خورد

کریستینا فیلیپس که سوگوار یک تراژدی شخصی است، کالیفرنیا را به مقصد استانبول به این امید ترک می کند که مناظر بکر و صداها و بوهای این شهر باستانی به بهبود حال او کمک کند. اما وقتی متوجه میشود که تحت تعقیب یک زن جوان کرد قرار گرفته و توسط رانندهای تهدید میشود که به نظر میرسد همه چیز را در مورد خانواده و زندگی او میداند، باید بیعدالتیهای قدیمی را با افشای اسرار خانواده قبل از وقوع تراژدی اصلاح کند.

زری رحمان از بمب ها و جنگ شیمیایی کردستان جنگ زده گریخته و به دنبال امنیت و زندگی جدید برای دختر تازه متولد شده اش است. او در استانبول، بی خانمان و ناامید، مهربانی غیرمنتظره ای دریافت می کند که بهای ملال آوری دارد.

زندگی این زنان در شهری که از شرق به غرب می رسد تلاقی پیدا می کند، جایی که با هم باید راهی پرخطر به سوی عدالت و رستگاری را طی کنند.

آنگاه که آینه ترک می خورد

روایت های گذشته و حال مادران و دختران را در داستانی درباره زنان و فداکاری، اجتماع و طرد شدن، هویت فرهنگی و تجربه پناهندگی به هم پیوند می دهد.

Christina Phillips, grieving after a personal tragedy, leaves California for Istanbul, hoping the exotic sights and sounds and smells of the ancient city will help her heal. But when she finds herself being stalked by a young Kurdish woman and threatened by a driver who seems to know all about her family and her life, she must correct old injustices by unraveling family secrets before tragedy strikes once again.

Zari Rahman fled the bombs and chemical warfare of war torn Kurdistan, seeking safety and a new life for her newborn daughter. In Istanbul, homeless and desperate, she receives an unexpected kindness that comes at a soul-crushing price.

The lives of these women collide in the city where the East meets West, where together they must travel a perilous path to justice and redemption.

When the Mirror Cracks connects the past and present narratives of mothers and daughters in a tale about women and sacrifice, community and exclusion, cultural identity and the refugee experience.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT WHEN THE MIRROR CRACKS...

“Wow! What a gripping read. There was so much to this story, characters that I loved, a character that I loathed .... This is a story that will stay with me for a long time, always a sign of a good read. As for the ending, let me just say, you won’t be disappointed.”

“Most of the suspense novels that I read fall closer to the thriller genre. So, it was a nice change of pace to read a more psychological book than action-oriented. The theme that all actions (good and bad) have consequences that still affect us decades later is brought to life by the juxtapositions of the lives of Christina, Zari, and the other women that fill the pages. If I had to use one word to describe this book, it would be ‘haunting.’

“This book sucked me in and I could not put it down. So many twists that I guessed wrong on many times! .... This book covers so many things: to what is motherhood, the feeling of not belonging, to the ‘White Knight’ savior situation in this book, to the genocide of the Kurdistan people, and then to familial forgiveness.”
- Hayley Wood’s Reviews, GoodReads Review

“This book blew me away! When The Mirror Cracks is a heart-wrenching, thrilling page-turner that takes you through one of the most beautiful cities in the world where you will witness the true strength of the female spirit when the odds are stacked against them.”
