Fate is a die cast in the dark-and kindness, the hand that dares tothrow it.
In the London of his youth, Ara tends the sick at St. Thomas' Hospital while the country of his birth slides toward upheaval. The West offers him a life of promise; Iran, a summons he cannot refuse. Heedless of those who beg him to stay, he returns to a homeland on the edge of revolution - and learns what it costs to love a country that cannot love him back.
From the wards of London to the streets of Tehran and Shiraz, Blue Sapphire Dice traces one man's passage through exile and return, devotion and loss - a meditation on the choices that unmake us, and the single selfless act that can redeem them.
This revised edition gathers new scenes and an expanded narrative, deepening a story two decades in the making.
