Evin Prison Baking Circle: Stories of women who found freedom in Iran's most brutal prison
9.99 €
The stories of Iranian women, told through 16 sweet recipes, are about resilience, freedom, and the power to survive.
In the heart of Iran, behind the walls of Evin Prison—a symbol of fear and captivity—women find a way to resist. They bake. Between interrogations and lights out, pies, cookies, and sweets are born—and moments of humanity that no one can take away.
Sepideh Gholian, an Iranian human rights activist, explains that in prison, one can not only survive but also create beauty around oneself. The pages of this book contain not only culinary notes but also the voices of women who make friends, laugh, create theater, sing, and live despite all prohibitions. Sixteen baking recipes are testaments to their resilience and the memory of those who did not live to see freedom.
Written secretly in a prison cell, on scraps of paper and napkins, Evin Prison Baking Circle is a story about how even in the darkest places, warmth can be found and shared with others.
