'THE WEIRD THING IS, I'M MORE INTERESTED IN MY MOTHER NOW SHE'S DEAD.'
‘Intoxicating’ KATIE KITAMURA
‘Powerful' R. O. KWON
‘A spellbinding fever dream' JONATHAN ESCOFFREY
After a lifetime together, Heti thought she knew her mother inside out. She's about to discover how wrong she was.
Heti moves in a daze of grief after her mother dies, until her life is upended by the arrival of an unmarked package containing photographs of her mother as a young woman in Iran, enveloped head to toe in a black veil, pointing a machine gun at a group of sobbing young women.
Unable to confront the one person she most wants answers from, she turns to the women around her, listening to their surprising, funny and often contradictory stories. Through them, she realises that every woman contains hidden lives and private truths.
So when it falls to her to organise a memorial marking the first anniversary of her mother’s death, Heti gathers the women who knew her best and asks them: Who was my mother? And who are we?
Original, sparkling with wit and layered with tenderness, Female Life on Planet Earth is a celebration of womanhood, perfect for fans of Good Girl by Aria Aber and The Persians by Sanam Mahloudji.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. When Hetis mother, Ana, dies, she leaves behind a lifetime of unconditional love, immigrant grit, and an impeccable retail sales record at Diamonds-R-Us. But a mysterious package upends everything: a collection of photographs of Ana as a young woman armed, robed in the garb of Muslim fundamentalism, pointing a gun at sobbing women and posing beside burning buildings reveals a life Heti never imagined.With these images come staggering questions: who was Ana before America, and what has Heti inherited? Rather than ask them, Heti spends the year quietly mourning, walking about Los Angeles and listening to the stories of the women she encounters in her family, at work, in the world. When it falls to her to organize the party to mark the anniversary of Anas death, Heti has built up enough courage to use the occasion to demand answers from the women gathered. It is only a matter of minutes before Heti understands that with the truth. Now, she risks losing her mother all over again.With sparkling wit and emotional precision, Female Life on Planet Earth is the stunning new novel from award-winning author Laleh Khadivi. A daughter uncovers the secrets of her mother's past in this darkly funny, lyrical novel Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
