From the international bestselling author of The Book of Fate comes the story, based on real events, of a four-year-old boy who cannot speak and the shame it brings upon his family in modern-day Iran.
Four-year-old Shahaab has not started talking. The family doctor believes there is no cause for concern; nevertheless, Shahaab is ridiculed by others who call him โdumb.โ In his innocent and deeply hurt childโs mind, he begins to believe that the โgoodโ and โintelligentโ children like his older brother are their fathersโ sons. On the other hand, children like him who are โclumsyโ and โproblematicโ are their mothersโ sons.
No one in the family can understand Shahaab except his maternal grandmother, who seems to possess the understanding and the kindness he so desperately craves. Their growing bond leads to a deep friendship in which Shahaab is able to experience some happiness and finally find his voice.
