After the success of The Book of Fate, the Iranian writer Parinoush Saniee presents her latest novel, Those Who Go and Those Who Stay, a text that reflects the emotional separation involved in being a member of a family divided by migration. Those who go become strangers to their land and to their identity, while those who stay envy the wealth and comforts enjoyed by their relatives abroad. With this as a backdrop, the author will talk to Catalina Gómez Ángel about migration and the social and psychological conflicts that it creates, about the role of women in holding the social fabric together in contexts of violence and, in short, her love and compassion for her country.
