The life of Masumeh is an open window to the last fifty years of the turbulent history of Iran, before, during and after the Islamic Revolution, to whose fate it is firmly tied. Her desires, her plans and everything she once considered possible will be crossed by the different transfigurations of a country increasingly blindly thrown into intolerance, integrism and discrimination against women. But Masumeh, like her contemporaries, will not stop seeking in friendship, in love and in her own greatness the strength to continue affirming life in the face of hatred, against all prohibition and all obstacle, and try to become the author of the book of her destiny.
Parinoush Saniee is an Iranian novelist. Her novel The Book of Fate has been translated into 26 languages and the English translation by Sara Khalili was listed by World Literature Today as one of the "75 notable translations of 2013". The Italian edition earned Saniee the 2010 Boccaccio Prize.
