Marsha Mehran born Mahsa Mehran ((ペルシア語:مارشا مهران); 11 November 1977 – April 2014) was an Iranian novelist. Her works include the international bestsellers ''Pomegranate Soup'' (2005) and ''Rosewater and Soda Bread'' (2008). ==Early life== Mehran was born in Tehran on 11 November,1977, to an accountant and his wife, Shahin, a teacher. Both practiced Iran’s Baha’i faith, considered heretical by hardline Islam. When, a year later, the Shah’s regime began to crumble, the couple began to make plans to leave. After the storming of the American embassy in Tehran upended their plan to move to the USA, the family instead migrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1979, at the time of the Iranian Revolution. Mehran grew up in Argentina and the United States, as well as lived in Australia and Ireland.〔 〕 In their new home, political upheaval, this time associated with the rule of the Argentine junta, forced the family to once more move continents. This time the family moved to America, where in Miami Marsha pursued, for a decade, her then dream of becoming a concert pianist. Mehran's parents divorced, and in the 1990s, Mehran and her mother came to New York. Mehran told an interviewer: “I arrived in New York with only $200 in my pocket. I worked, initially, as a hostess in a restaurant owned by Russian mobsters. There were no customers there, which I thought a bit odd at first, until I realised that the restaurant was just a front for their other dealings.” At age 17, Mehran's father reports, her permanent visa for the US was revoked for a "minor infraction". Unhappy about having to leave the US, Mehran moved to Ireland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marsha Mehran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
