About this listen

Darya has discovered the perfect gift for her daughter's 25th birthday: an ideal husband. Mina, however, is fed up with her mother's endless matchmaking and grading of available Iranian American bachelors.

After Darya's last ill-fated attempt to find Mina a husband, mother and daughter embark on a journey to Iran, where the two women gradually begin to understand each other. But after Mina falls for a young man who never appeared on her mother's spreadsheets and Darya is tempted by an American musician, will this mother and daughter's tender appreciation for each other survive?

Wonderful, fun, insightful

As a child of two countries myself, I really loved all the cultural insights. I immediately was drawn to the wonderful characters, it was delightful to spend time with them.

Excellent Trip to Iran!

Excellent story especially in light of what is going on in Iran today. It is a wonderful glimpse into another culture and the way the oppressed circumnavigate the oppressors. I would love to go to Iran and experience their culture…someday.

Very Enjoyable

After listening to Stationary Shop, I was yearning for another one of Ms. Kamali novels and came upon Together Tea. I enjoyed both of these novels very much. It gave a interesting insight into Iranian customs and history. I hope she continues to write about her culture.

Yes, a Together Tea please

Any additional comments?

I always wondered, as I watch the TV news, what life is like for people in war torn countries. This story explained life in Iran, coming to America and finding the changing family dynamic. Each character’s personality shown in the story and I found I wished these characters were my real life American neighbors. The two love story lines, both different, were fresh and new in the field of romance novels. This is a wonderful story.

Persian memories

I love the storyline and could relate to so much of it, as an Iranian immigrant, who grew up the midst of the revolution and war in Iran. I was disappointed with the accents that were more Indian than Iranian! Some of the pronunciations were not accurate either.

Wonderful story

I didn’t like the Persian accent at all as it sounded more Indian than Persian.

One of my favorite authors...

Love this book.
It is about Darya and Mina (Mother-daughter relationship).
Learned about the Iranian culture. Felt that I was there living what Mina was experiencing.
Liked very much the Mom’s character.

Bringing Back Memories

What did you love best about Together Tea?

This book was so well written. A lot of attention was given to enlightening the reader as to cultural values in Iran...Some of which are brought to America by Persians now living here. I was born and lived in the Middle East until I was 10 years old. My family would travel to Iran on vacation. This book awakened those memories of smells, flavors, sounds..etc.

Together Tea

Together Tea was a marvelous rendition of how Iranian Americans lives wee interrupted after the Iranian revolution of 1979. I loved all the little details of tge Persian culture, food, and customs so vividly described by Marjan. Thank you for writing this historical fiction that takes reader back to so many great memories of Iran the way we remember it.
