The Blood of Flowers – Anita Amirrezvani

Set in Isfahan during the golden age of Shah Abbas, with wonderful descriptions of carpets and love, interwoven with tales that sound as if they were told by Scheherazade.

Not an amazing novel, but one to read if you love any of the above.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.
