For the Sun After Long Nights is the kind of fiercely intelligent and unapologetically intimate masterpiece our Iranian canon has long needed-narrative nonfiction storytelling at its finest!... If you want to fully grasp Iran today, start here. * Porochista Khakpour, author of Tehrangeles * For the Sun After Long Nights is unlike anything I've read. The alternating voices, unflinching eyes, and profound solidarity of Jamalpour and Tabrizy allow us to see the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in all its immediacy, power, and complexity. This is a searing, courageous, and ultimately beautiful book filled with the spirit of the movement that it covers. * Ben Rhodes, author of After the Fall * A powerful and moving chronicle of the Woman, Life, Freedom uprising. Going far beyond news headlines, this extraordinary cross-continental collaboration bears witness to the many brave Iranian women who have fought for rights and the sisterhood that Gen Z will carry forth. It is a book that could be written only by two true lion women. * Marjan Kamali, bestselling author of The Lion Women of Tehran * For the Sun After Long Nights is a staggering testament to the struggle of the Iranian people - and Iranian women, in particular - against a regime that kills to silence them. Through their interlinked stories, the authors crystallise the voices of their people, including those from ethnic minorities long-suppressed by the Islamic Republic, bringing their souls onto the pages and showing a deeply nuanced perspective of a story that is too often told in binaries. * Louise Callaghan, author of Father of Lions * Jamalpour and Tabrizy have written an essential book about a people's fight against a brutal regime led with unimaginable courage by the women of Iran. It is a beautiful achievement-a tale replete with stunning acts of bravery by Iranian women, young and old, and suffused with poetry that is exquisitely, defiantly told. * Julian Borger, Senior International Correspondent, Guardian * With their exceptional reporting and storytelling, Tabrizy and Jamalpour narrate a story that will move both those very familiar with the courageous Iranian women and students of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement and inspire those who come to this book knowing very little. * Alyssa Mastromonaco, New York Times bestselling author of Who Thought This Was a Good Idea? * We've been led to believe that Iran is a dour and unknowable land inhabited by religious fanatics. For the Sun After Long Nights shatters that farcical narrative once and for all. Anyone as intimate with Iran as Tabrizy and Jamalpour knows Iranian women to be the nation's most vital, misunderstood-and feared-natural resource, and this remarkable book proves it. * Jason Rezaian, Director of Press Freedom Initiatives, Washington Post * A deeply insightful testament to the courage of protestors and journalists who stand firm in the face of oppression. * Ali Velshi, MSNBC * The authors offer captivating insight into the historical role women have played in Iranian politics... As the narrative builds, Jamalpour and Tabrizy present the country as caught in a vice-like trap between the regime at home and Western hostility abroad. It's a gripping view of a nation at a crossroads. * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
