Parrott's Iranian love story
Jenny Parrott at Little, Brown, has paid a "healthy" five-figure sum for a love story set in contemporary Iran after seeing a 64-page partial manuscript translated from Farsi. The deal for Shahriar Mandanipour's Censoring an Iranian Love Story was done with Vivien Green at Sheil Land.
The book follows two people who fall in love through secret coded messages hidden in the pages of outlawed books. Mandanipour’s own books were banned in Iran from 1992 to 1998. The title is due in March 2009.
