From her earliest years, she shared a passion for Iranian cuisine with her mother and craved stories of their ancestral home. Eventually they visited and she fell in love with Iran's sights and smells, and with the warm embrace of their extended family. Yet Roza sensed something was amiss with her mother's happy, well-rehearsed story of their original departure.\u003cbr\u003e As Roza grew older, this longing for home transformed into a desire for inner understanding and liberation. She was lit up by the feminist texts in her women's studies courses, and shared radical ideas with her mother--who in turn shared more of her past, from protesting for the Islamic revolution to her ambivalence about getting married. In \u003ci\u003eAll the Parts We Exile\u003c\/i\u003e, Roza braids a tender narrative of her mother's life together with her own ongoing story of self, as she arrives at, then rejects, her queer identity, eventually finds belonging in queer spaces and within queer Iranian histories, and learns the truth about her family's move to Canada.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eROZA NOZARI is a writer, artist and therapist based in Tkaronto (\"Toronto\") and known as \u003ci\u003eYallaRoza \u003c\/i\u003eon social media.
