"Although she is told that daughters should be quiet and modest, Forugh Farrokhzad finds ways to rebel - gossiping with her sister in the rose garden, composing poems behing her closed bedroom door, sneaking out with a teenage paramour. As a young woman in the 1950s, Forugh flees her forced marriage, returns to Tehran, and falls into a love affair. When her newfound freedom finds its voice on the page, her published poems - brilliant and utterly scandalous - polarize Iranian society. Unwilling to return to a traditional life, Forugh continues to live by her own rules, finding fulfillment and success - but at enormous cost. This spellbinding debut novel is about a trailblazing woman who defied society's expectations to find her voice and her destiny. Song of a Captive Bird captures the tenacity, passion, and conflicting desires of a rebellious spirit who, to this day, continues to inspire women around the world."--Page 4 of cover.
