“My Share” is the life story of a woman, told from childhood to middle age. Masoumeh is a little girl from a religious family who live in Qom and intend to immigrate to Tehran.
The story begins in the early thirties and gradually, with Masoumeh growing up, social and cultural changes in the form of the Islamic Revolution and the imposed war affect her life.

Masoumeh, who is a symbol of oppression and innocence (especially those around her who call her “Innocent”), is forced to drop out of school due to the restrictions imposed on her by a highly religious family with three fanatical brothers.

While his brother has the right to have an illicit affair with the woman next door, he is denied the right to have an affair with his best friend, and is accused of raping his family and being forced into a forced marriage for allegedly having an affair with a boy named Massoud. Be.

Marry someone who has not even seen her until the day of the wedding.

She becomes the wife of a young two-fire communist who is pursuing armed struggle plans for the regime. His living environment changes completely, and not only does his new life not impose any restrictions on him, but it also brings him too much freedom.
As much as he is free for any decision in life, any kind of clothing and any kind of communication and theoretical practices, but he does not taste the taste of married life and does not feel next to a man, his passionate and revolutionary wife, Hamid, is his only expense ( For a while) and their relationship does not deepen even with the birth of their first son.

With the birth of his second son, Saeed, Hamid was captured by SAVAK, while the revolutionary struggles of the society reached their peak. The Masoumeh brothers, who join Hezbollah forces, support Hamid’s release as an anti-regime and his transformation into a national hero.

After Hamid’s release and the victory of the Revolution, as the faces of various parties became known, Hamid was gradually identified as a non-religious communist by Masoumeh’s brother, Hamid, and was exposed, imprisoned, and later executed.

Hamid takes the matter to a place where Masoumeh, the eldest son, who has a tendency towards the Mojahedin Party in his youth, is exposed and thrown in prison.

With the passage of time and the death of Masoumeh and Hamid’s father and her brothers’ cousins, and with the start of the imposed war, she crosses the border to avoid sending her eldest son to the smuggling army.
In the last years of the war, his young son Saeed goes to the front and after the end of the war, he becomes a fighter with all social privileges.

Masoumeh, who as the wife of a communist and the mother of a Mujahideen, even refuses to continue her education and work and has been subjected to “cleansing”, sees herself as the mother of a fighter.

His eldest son Siamak continues to study and get married abroad, and Saeed joins a religious family and starts a good life. Shirin (his youngest daughter) is about to get married and go to Canada, where Masoumeh (who is no longer Has become a middle-aged woman), sees the love of her youth, Massoud.

Massoud, whose family lives in the United States, proposes to Masoumeh to separate from her husband and live with him if she agrees.

Masoumeh, who was a prisoner of her brother’s family and restrictions as a teenager, and then the wife of a communist, the mother of a mujahid and the mother of a fighter, and others always determined her share of life for her, and society and family viewed her as a father. She has been brothers, husband and children, she leaves the decision of marriage to her children.

He, who is tired of fighting for his life, has no motivation to ask for his share of life in the face of his children’s opposition to marriage, and it is natural for him that others decide for him …
The author has tried to change his writing style according to the age of Masoumeh, who is the narrator of her story. (Which, of course, led to criticisms of his writing style, along with many criticisms of the many typographical errors in the first edition of this book).

The narration of the life of the main character of the story is not unlike the life of many women of Masoumeh’s age, and for this reason, the book found many fans among the readers of that generation.

That all imaginable events should take place in Masoumeh’s life (for example, the various party affiliations and beliefs of her husband, children and brothers), although not without exaggeration, seems necessary to express the political atmosphere and socio-cultural atmosphere of the revolution.

There are parallels in Masoumeh’s life, such as Parvaneh (who was released by her family) or Shahrzad (one of her husband’s partners who works in the party and even her marriage is in the party) and the contradictions between her paternal family and her own family. Also, the cultural contradictions before and after the revolution have contributed to the appeal of the story, although in some cases, the author sees the contradictions as zero and one hundred in order to better arouse the reader’s emotions.

My Book of Wins has won the 2010 Boccaccio Prize in Italy.
Excerpts from the text of the book:
I was always surprised by the butterfly’s work. He did not care at all about his master’s reputation. He talked in the high street, looked at the shop windows, sometimes stood up and showed me something.

Everything I said was ugly. What happened? …

The protagonist, Masoumeh, comes to Tehran from Qom with her family as a teenager. Meanwhile, on the way to school, he falls in love with a pharmacy student.

The involvement of Masoumeh’s family, however, causes her to soon forget this adolescent love and, in the usual tradition, marry Hamid.

Hamid, who is involved in the political struggle against the Pahlavi regime, often spends his time with “his friends”.
That’s why his family decides to make Hamid “home and live” despite Masoumeh’s desire for him, so that he may lose the passion for political activity.

Life, however, is not going the way Hamid Omid’s family had hoped. After marriage, Hamid continues to spend most of his time with his friends, and as the popular struggle against the Shah intensifies, Hamid’s absences from home increase.

With the victory of the revolution, everything changes. Masoumeh hopes that now that Hamid’s struggle has come to an end, his family situation will also change. But the storm and turmoil continue in his life and destroy his life year after year.
