Book excerpt: Bookclub-in-a-Box guides the reader first across the ocean to Iran and then back to California to explore the magic of place and culture in Gina Nahai's lovely novel, Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith. In her book, Nahai tells the story of Roxanna the Angel who disappears one night when her daughter is five years old. Mother and daughter do not see each other again for thirteen long and lonely years. In the intervening time, Nahai describes the Iranian-Jewish community in the years prior to the fall of the Shah of Iran in 1979. Moonlight on the Avenue of Faith is a richly poetic and moving novel. Bookclub-in-a-Box takes the reader on an exotic journey through this little-known world where faith in love can overcome bad-luck, attempted murder, jealousy and all things that cannot be proved or explained.
