A beautiful and poetic story of friendship and relationships set in the cultural backdrop of Iran. The characters came to life and seemed real. At times tragic and a tear jerker. Even though the story takes place mostly in Iran, we all have events in our lives that resonate at some point in this story. Very well written, enjoyable read.

The book’s characters seem so real, not heroes but ordinary people in tumultuous times. It has gems of phrasing and conveys ideas so eloquently –> cerebral beauty.

This is a wonderful book with the most beautiful writing. I learned a lot, cried a lot, and became so caught up with the characters that I could not stop reading until I came to the end. Ms. Ghahremani is a truly gifted writer.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Sky of Red Poppies. For those who like to read about other cultures, this is a well written and realistic story about a girl growing up in Iran, in the middle of political turmoil. Zohreh Gharhremani's writing is easy to read as it immerses you into the world of Roya; a world that can be at times scary, funny, sad, touching and smart. I particularly enjoyed the title and how this idea is woven into the book.
