Bookclub-in-a-Box guides the reader first across the ocean to Iran and then back to California to explore the magic of place and culture in Gina Nahai’s lovely and moving novel, Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith. In her book, Nahai tells the story of Roxanna the Angel who disappears one night when her daughter is five years old. Mother and daughter do not see each other again for thirteen long and lonely years. In the intervening time, Nahai describes the Iranian-Jewish community in the years prior to the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979.

Bookclub-in-a-Box explores the following:

• Nahai’s themes of fate, destiny, and choice in a community influenced by the traditions of magic realism.
• The pull of spiritual superstition juxtaposed with the forces of real political evil.
• The theme of exile for the individual and for an entire community.
• The magic and the power of love in overcoming loneliness and despair.

Every Bookclub-in-a-Box PDF discussion guide includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style and interesting background information on the novel and the author.
