Synopsis"Veiled Romance" is a novel that unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of Tehran during the first months of Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution, and is inspired by my personal experiences and observations being in Iran during that time period."Veiled Romance" is told from the point of view of Leila Omid, a young, lovely, liberated and brilliant Iranian educated in the States. Her family is highly connected to the Shah's government, despite the fact that they are secretly Jewish. In Tehran, post revolution, Leila sheds her western ways and plays a dangerous game rising to the upper ranks of the fundamentalist regime. She does this to free the man she loves, Cyrus - a charismatic and handsome Iranian business executive who is openly Jewish - from being a political hostage. The novel unfolds as Leila writes her memoirs from her cell in an Iranian fundamentalist prison, telling her stirring and passionate story, and providing an insider's view of the cultural and political history of contemporary Iran.
