Leila is the eight-year-old daughter of Hassan Nassiri, a wealthy Iranian property owner, and younger sister to the adored Fayruz, her father's favourite daughter.
Then tragedy strikes in a holiday narrowboat accident having far-reaching consequences for the surviving family and so follows a tale of adventure, danger and romance – and further anguish for Leila’s parents.
Told from both daughter and father's perspectives, Far Cry From The Turquoise Room is a coming-of-age riches-to-rags tale of loss, resilience, and self-discovery. It is also about the passage of childhood into puberty.
