Book Review: Forever, Now
Forever, Now by Haleh Shahrzad Genre: Literary Fiction ISBN: 9781961532526 Print Length: 182 pages Publisher: Mindstir Media Reviewed by Joelene Pynnonen Iranian-born Darya is a student in a graduate program in the U.S…
Iranian-born Darya is a student in a graduate program in the U.S.A. when she meets David. He's gorgeous, charming, and, best of all, as interested in her as she is in him. After a giddy night spent in his company, she's smitten and so, it seems, is he. Not having any family in the U.S., Darya is drawn not only to David but to the family life he promises.
As their lives become intertwined, Darya starts to see a side to David that she hadn't expected. One that is cold, selfish, and cruel. The more time she spends with him, the more she realizes how incompatible they are. As the man who has become her husband begins to show his true colors, Darya struggles to navigate the new reality she finds herself in.
The writing in Forever, Now is lushly descriptive. As David and Darya travel to places like Italy, Greece, and Hawaii, the settings come to life. The emotional turmoil Darya experiences as she navigates her often frosty relationship with David is also vividly rendered. The feelings of confusion, frustration, and anger radiate from these pages. So too does the helplessness Darya feels when faced with the situation she finds herself in.
