Deceptively easy to read. . .richly layered. . .a real gem.” —MAHBOD SERAJI, author of Rooftops of Tehran “From beautiful images of Iran, Sweden, and the UK to heavily researched historical events and to characters that are deeply human in their joys, mistakes, and dreams, Bjursten has written quite an exceptional book. Half a Cup of Sand and Sky will captivate folks of all genres and ages with its craft, vitality, and wisdom.” —Independent Book Review (starred review) “A wise, beautiful novel featuring a woman facing the eternal challenge: how to create an authentic self.

I adored this book.” —JOAN STEINAU LESTER, PEN Josephine-Miles Award winning author of Loving Before Loving: A Marriage in Black and White “A captivating story that respects the complexity of Iran and its history and shines a light on the many courageous Iranians striving for democracy, human security, and freedom.” —TRITA PARSI, author of A Single Roll of the Dice and Losing an Enemy About the Author: Raised north of New York City in Garrison, Nadine now lives in Lund, Sweden, with her husband and twin daughters.
