The Evin Prison Bakers’ Club
Surviving Iran's Most Notorious Prisons in 16 RecipesBy Sepideh GholianNarrated by Ashraf ShiraziLength3h 25m
About this audiobook
How do you cheer up a woman who has spent hours cleaning prison toilets with a broken mop? The secret is in a tres leches cake.
In Iran’s prisons, women endure horrors: they are beaten, interrogated, and humiliated in a thousand ways. Even a whisper to a fellow inmate can be punished. Yet—in spite of anything and everything—they resist: they bake. They console each other, cry together, dance together.
Sepideh Gholian, in prison since 2018, bakes scones for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe’s daughter, a pumpkin pie for Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, and madeleines for Marzieh Amiri, serving time for a May Day demonstration in 2019.
The Evin Prison Bakers’ Club is a call to stand up for women, life, and freedom, by a woman still fighting for a free Iran.
